<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To be phased in over the next 90 days, the ban will be in place by February and affect all Australian detention centres, including Christmas Island.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian Border Force Commander Vanessa Holben said the measure was to ensure the safety of detainees, visitors, workers and immigration facilities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cdr Holben said the changing demographic of detainees had changed the security challenges inside centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The big reduction in <b>boat</b> arrivals over the past two years meant that illegal maritime arrivals were now less than a third of the detention population, she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the number of <b>boat</b> people in detention decreases, the number of detainees with extensive criminal histories has increased.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This includes members of outlaw motorcycle gangs who have had their visas cancelled on character grounds under Section 501 of the Migration Act.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Some detainees have used them to organise criminal activities, threaten other detainees, create or escalate disturbances and plan escapes by enlisting outsiders to assist them,” Cdr Holben said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of the 1454 people in detention in one of Australia’s 10 detention centres, 472 are <b>boat</b> people and 476 have had their visas cancelled under Section 501.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Detainees were informed of the new policy yesterday and told they would be given greater access to landline phones and continued use of the internet and email.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unless the major parties correct their course, it seems likely that a Donald Trump-style politician will rise to prominence in Australia. The appeal of populist and ­nationalist politicians lies in their novelty, their revival of patriotism and pride in Western culture. The five causes that fired Trump’s ascendancy are being championed by anti-establishment figures across the West. During the past week, three of those causes came to the fore in Australian politics: sovereign borders, the PC establishment and freedom of speech.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The common causes of 21st-century populist groups are the erosion of sovereign rights by supranational bodies such as the <span class="companylink">UN</span> and EU; a perceived loss of sovereign wealth through trade agreements; the imposition of open border policy; the PC establishment; and the censorship of dissenters from the PC line. Dissenters are generally viewed by populists as those who defend sovereign rights, sovereign wealth, ­secure borders, freedom of speech and draining the PC swamp.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the past week, Australians have debated immigration, the PC media establishment and free speech. On Friday, <b>asylum</b>-seeker Nur Islam entered a bank and injured dozens when he set himself on fire. Reportedly, Islam was angry because his welfare payment was late. His friends said he was struggling financially but apparently had sufficient funds to send money back to his country of origin. Consistent with PC thought, <b>refugee</b> activists refused to hold Islam responsible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead, they played a quick hand of blame-shifting to frame the Coalition’s conservative border security and offshore processing policy culpable. The Associated Press wrote: “Noor arrived in Australia shortly before … the government introduced a hardline policy banning refugees who arrive by <b>boat</b> after that date from ever making Australia home.” But if there ever were a case to support Coalition’s “hardline” border policy, surely this is it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition is seeking bipartisan support for its bill to introduce a lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b>-seekers who are processed off­shore, but Labor has declared it will block the bill. The <span class="companylink">UN</span>’s migrant rights rapporteur Francois Crepeau also renewed his attack on Australia’s conservative border policy last week by claiming offshore processing on Nauru was cruel. Crepeau has sat on the council of the Global Detention Project, an activist group highly critical of immigration processing centres. He described defence of the continuous historical tradition of British culture as “bullshit”. Are we supposed to credit him as a non-ideological arbiter of human rights and sovereign border security?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition has lessened the impact of populist politics in Australia by crafting rational border policy well in advance of its international counterparts. Tony Abbott as prime minister introduced Operation Sovereign Borders to restore border security and assert that democratic citizens had a sovereign right to it. It was avant-garde at the time. The <span class="companylink">UN</span> joined open border activists in human rights groups to vilify Abbott — and conservatives more broadly — for reducing their control over border policy by restoring the power of sovereignty to the Australian people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abbott also tried to “drain the swamp” long before it was a Trump campaign slogan. His ­primary focus was excessive government spending on public institutions that had become little more than activist hubs, among them the <span class="companylink">Australian Human Rights Commission</span> and the ABC. The behaviour of ABC staff is a frequent reminder of how right Abbott was. The Australian obtained audio last week of ABC staff laughing about how they earn high incomes while fellow Australians suffer economic pain due to record low wage growth. ABC editors tried to conceal the audio in which reporter David Taylor and program host Eleanor Hall gloat about being “better off” than workers in the private sector.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I can’t speak for all workers in the private sector but that inspires in me a strong desire to drain the swamp. Yet there are few viable options for voters who <span class="companylink">seek limited</span> government, a significant reduc­tion in public debt, rational immigration and border security policy, and the defence of fundamental Western values. The mainstream choice is the conservative wing of the Liberal Party, but its most potent members have been resigned to the backbench. Malcolm Turnbull does defend secure border policy and his government has criticised the ABC for inflated wages. It also is championing free speech by developing the case for amending section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Its principal restraint is a government with a majority of one. And Turnbull is a progressivist at heart yet to demonstrate a commitment to limited government by slashing spending.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Major parties’ refusal to counter growing debt by a reduction in government spending on pet political causes and discretionary items will fuel public resentment and set the scene for an anti-establishment candidate to emerge. The restive public is leaning towards political figures who oppose the PC establishment’s open border lunacy, its intemperate approach to channelling public funds into the activist class in the media, academe and non-government organisations, and its censorship of politically incorrect speech.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pauline Hanson is most commonly associated with populist politics in Australia, but her historical criticism of Asian immigration may well limit her popularity and she lacks Trump’s rhetorical flair. Among Coalition politicians, popular conservatives include Abbott, Andrew Hastie, Peter Dutton and Cory Bernardi. The Labor Party and the Greens will increase populist appeals by gesture politics such as the ALP’s proposal for a royal commission into the banking sector.Whoever emerges as the Australian Trump will have an unusual historical advantage because the question in Western democracies is no longer which major party will win the next election but which minor party will hold the balance of power.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister returns to federal parliament today to renew his bid to get Labor to back a lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b>-seekers, declaring the tougher law is needed to deter arrivals when a resettlement deal could see refugees transferred to the US.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The new survey highlights the risk for Bill Shorten in opposing the bill, given the lifetime ban on settlement in Australia is based on Labor’s own message to people-smugglers in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government is battling to secure enough support from the Senate crossbench to legislate the ban, with Nick Xenophon, David Leyonhjelm and Derryn Hinch calling for amendments to allow some visitors to Australia even if permanent settlement is blocked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Monash University professor Andrew Markus said the findings showed Australians strongly backed taking migrants in the humanitarian program, but not ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers coming by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We found that 32 per cent said they were sympathetic towards <b>boat</b> arrivals, but a much larger 61 per cent said they were not,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The survey indicates there is strong support for the government’s policy but it’s nuanced. There’s a very high level of support for the humanitarian program — around 80 per cent ... higher than when we asked the same question in 2010 and 2012.” The findings are in line with studies showing about one third of Australians support turning back <b>asylum</b> boats, a third want to give <b>asylum</b>-seekers temporary visas and only 24 per cent want to give refugees permanent residency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When the 1500 respondents were asked in July and August to name the biggest problems facing Australia, only 2.1 per cent nominated “poor treatment” of ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers while 2.1 per cent said “too many” refugees or <b>asylum</b>-seekers, a fall from 9.8 per cent in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two months after an online Essential Research poll claimed half of Australians wanted an end to Muslim immigration, the Monash study found lower concern, concluding there was “no statistically significant shift” over the past six years of its annual surveys.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The new survey, Mapping Social Cohesion, produced by the Scanlon Foundation, found 58 per cent supported Muslim immigration, down from 65 per cent last year but up from 54 per cent in 2010. Another 33 per cent opposed Muslim immigration, up from 28 per cent last year but down from 35 per cent in 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australians tended to back a humanitarian program, including the one-off intake of 12,000 Syrians, without favouring one religion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We got almost the same result as what we got when we asked about Muslims — that is, 24 to 26 per cent said the government should discriminate in favour of Christians, but 69 per cent said there should be no discrimination. So again there is a consistency,” Professor Markus said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked for the most important problem, 28.4 per cent said the economy, 10.7 per cent said the quality of politicians and 8.6 per cent said national security.The Scanlon Foundation found more evidence of social cohesion and stability than deterioration on issues such as trust and confidence in the country. The result was a Scanlon Monash Index of Social Cohesion of 89.3 points out of 100, in line with results since 2010 but slightly down on last year’s 92.5.</p>

It is natural enough for fear to take hold in the community following such a horrific and unexpected event, especially at a time of heightened concern about terrorist threats. But tensions will be needlessly raised by efforts to seize on a tragedy of this type to make political arguments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Investigations into the fire at the <span class="companylink">Commonwealth Bank</span> branch on Springvale Road will eventually determine exactly what happened. From what is known so far, it appears Nur Islam, a 21-year-old man from Myanmar who fled to Australia by <b>boat</b> in 2013, entered the bank with a drum of fuel and started a wild blaze, causing injuries to himself and 26 others. Treating the number of injured posed a considerable test for Victoria's emergency medical system, and the quick response is a credit to ambulance and hospital staff.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Islam's claim to be from a persecuted Muslim community has already prompted the rabble-rousing far right to cast further aspersions on migrants. This is rank opportunism. Yet nor should Mr Islam's background as an <b>asylum</b> seeker become an excuse by advocates to rehash arguments about Australia's hardline policy towards refugees, especially the uncertain limbo of people on bridging visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is why Mr Andrews struck the right note with his remarks, urging people to see this as an isolated act. "It is not a commentary, and it ought not to be used as a political weapon by anybody who finds fault with any of the policy settings we have at the moment," Mr Andrews said. "This is tragedy, nothing more, nothing less."</p>

Mr Islam's state of mind has already been speculated on, with friends from the Springvale house where he was living reporting he had suffered from mental problems and distress about the sickness of family in Myanmar. He had apparently complained about not receiving welfare payments, a claim <span class="companylink">Centrelink</span> has said is untrue. Again, such matters should be resolved by the investigation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A tragedy of this type only reinforces the need for a fair and impartial justice system. The tendency to warp facts to suit a particular political agenda is not new, but poses a danger for community cohesion. It is a lesson all leaders should heed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Andrews' careful reticence following the bank fire stands in welcome contrast to the historical revisionism of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, who has sought to reinterpret crime statistics through the lens of migration patterns to Australia dating back to the Fraser era. Mr Dutton's attempt to imply crime is a problem imported to Australia fails the pub test for common sense. But, regrettably, his comments are in keeping with the federal Liberal Party's willingness to flirt with prejudice to win political backing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia will not meet the complex challenges of maintaining a safe and harmonious society by resorting to a simplistic blame game. Understanding what divides people is as difficult as understanding what unites them, and behaviour is often merely a consequence of an individual.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet it is only by reasoned assessment, based on facts, that understanding will grow. Those with agendas to push are better off looking for other examples to fill their barrows.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Failure to pass the measure would be a blow for the government, but would not endanger the deal with the US to resettle refugees on Manus Island and Nauru.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It comes as the Department of Immigration confirmed at least 857 people had expressed interest in US resettlement, including some of the 377 people who have been temporarily transferred to Australia from Nauru or Manus Island for medical reasons.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That figure included 245 people who were adults when they were first sent to a regional processing centre, meaning they would be subject to the lifetime visa ban. The remainder were minors from about 90 family units and would not be barred for life from Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The proposed ban would make any adult sent to Manus or Nauru after July 19, 2013, ineligible to make a valid visa application in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor and the Greens have pledged to vote down the bill.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That makes the government reliant on an unpersuaded crossbench, and it is understood to have secured only five of the eight votes needed to reach 38: the four One Nation senators and Tasmania's Jacqui Lambie.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NSW Liberal Democrat senator David Leyonhjelm said he would not vote for the bill and is drafting two amendments: one to exempt temporary visas such as tourist visas from the ban, and another to exempt refugees from Australia's direct neighbours, such as Indonesia and Timor Leste.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of the Nick Xenophon Team, party leader Nick Xenophon is understood to be the most sympathetic to the ban, but is still holding out for concessions from the government. Senators Stirling Griff and Skye Kakoschke-Moore are expected to vote against the bill.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Victorian senator Derryn Hinch indicated he would carefully consider a Senate committee report on the matter, due to be filed on Tuesday. But last week, after attending a public hearing, he tweeted: "Banning people who [are] seeking <b>asylum</b> from ever visiting Aus is cruel and unnecessary."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokeswoman for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said he would not provide a running commentary on any crossbench negotiations through the media.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not it you take a long, hard look.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked in 2010 "is your attitude positive, negative or neutral towards Muslims", about 23.5 per cent of Australians told <span class="companylink">Monash University</span> researchers they felt "very" or "somewhat" negative.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The latest figures to be released on Tuesday shows the number in the negative column has only crept up to 25 per cent - having actually fallen last year to 22.4 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That finding follows the rise of Islamic State, Tony Abbott's fuming about imams meaning what they say about Islam as a religion of peace, and Pauline Hanson's political resurrection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But what about trust in government? After all, we've become accustomed to hearing about the swelling tide of discontent within Western democracy, after the success this year of Brexit and victory by Donald Trump. The best answer for Australia is, well, so Aussie: yeah, maybe, dunno.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite compulsory voting, the election campaign this year didn't inspire a huge amount of interest, with 14 per cent of people indicating they paid no attention at all, and another 20 per cent saying "not much".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No one much likes Canberra, and that has barely changed since 2009, when Kevin Rudd broke his promise to tackle climate change.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back then, 48 per cent believed the government would do the right thing by the Australian people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet this measure plummeted to 31 per cent in 2010, and has pretty much flat-lined since, to remain at 29 per cent in 2016.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there is little evidence to show people believe the system of government needs major change or to be chucked out. About 15 per cent of Australians say it works fine as it is, while 11 per cent reckon it's time for a revolution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 40 per cent of people want minor change - compared to 31 per cent wanting a major overhaul (although the latter number is gradually increasing). Only one in 10 people nominate the quality of politicians as the most important problem facing Australia, down from almost 15 per cent in 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Monash University</span>'s Andrew Markus said opinion surveys are on the nose, having failed to pick up on the stunning success of the Brexit campaign and then the rise of Trump. But polls that compare attitudes over time and with similar surveys were more reliable than startling, one-off findings, he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Professor Markus has released the latest in a series of surveys Mapping Social Cohesion, supported by the Scanlon Foundation and Australian Multicultural Foundation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm always suspicious, are we getting it wrong? But there are other surveys out there and the findings are consistent," he said.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The final fortnight of parliamentary sittings for 2016, starting today, will be some of the most important days for the economy, and for the standing of the Coalition, since it won government in 2013. Malcolm Turnbull and his team must make legislation to restore the Australian Building and Construction Commission their top priority. The second industrial relations bill that served as a trigger for the double dissolution in July, to create a Registered Organisations Commission to oversee unions and employer organisations, could pass with Labor amendments after it is presented today. The ABCC bill, however, which is expected to be debated tomorrow, has been rejected by Labor and the Greens and has proved a sterner test of the government’s negotiating skills. After its rejection by the Senate twice before the election, the government now has reason to be optimistic that after concessions to protect whistleblowers and provide for continuity of payments to subcontractors, the legislation should pass. The outcome will reveal the economic acumen and commitment to Australia’s interests of the crossbenchers who will determine its fate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Ewin Hannan reports today, a new analysis released by the government underlines the necessity of restoring the ABCC. The analysis shows that more than $100 billion of construction projects have been disrupted by <span class="companylink">Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union</span> “lawlessness’’. The militant union, which has recently secured a 20 per cent pay rise over four years — far ahead of inflation or other workers’ expectations — has been found guilty of workplace law breaches on $78bn worth of projects and is facing the courts on others worth $25bn. But with assets worth at least $90 million, the CFMEU brushes off penalties as easily as parking fines, as the Prime Minister said last week. The legislation to restore the ABCC is also vital because taxpayers and business investors can no longer afford the 30 per cent premiums the union’s thuggery adds to the cost of public infrastructure such as roads, hospitals and schools, as well as to major private projects such as office and apartment buildings and developments in the resources sector.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After building momentum for budget repair with its $6.3bn omnibus savings bill in September, the government has reportedly reached a useful compromise with crossbenchers over paid parental leave. In return for extending <span class="companylink">PPL</span> to 20 weeks, affording new mums a precious two weeks longer at home, Social Services Minister Christian Porter is believed to have achieved savings of up to $750m by securing agreement to scrap “double dipping” that allowed many new mums to access both the government’s scheme and employers’ arrangements. The government is also likely to succeed, with Labor’s support, in clawing back tax concessions from wealthier superannuation investors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Achieving budget savings in these final sitting weeks will be crucial to maintaining Australia’s AAA credit rating next year. A new <span class="companylink">Deloitte Access Economics</span> report suggests the budget position will be $24bn worse than expected over the next four years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government will also be scrambling for Senate support for legislating a lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b>-seekers who have tried to enter Australia by <b>boat</b> since July 19, 2013 — the date when former prime minister Kevin Rudd said <b>asylum</b>-seekers who came to Australia by <b>boat</b> had no chance of being settled here. The deal with the US to resettle refugees from Nauru and Manus Island does not depend on such legislation. Neither would a deal between Mr Turnbull and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor, contrary to its supposed “unity ticket’’ with the Coalition on stopping the boats, will vote against the legislation. But the lifetime ban would have practical advantages in deterring people-smugglers and potential future passengers.The issues at stake this fortnight matter more than point-scoring and end-of-year standing in opinion polls. The government must prevail on its key votes if it is to avoid in the early months of next year, in the lead -up to its next budget, getting bogged down in re-runs of debates that need to be settled now.</p>

<span class="companylink">Commonwealth Bank</span> has ­ordered a probe into Friday’s firebomb attack on a busy Melbourne branch, amid claims that dozens of injured and frightened customers had been unable to escape due to the doors being locked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Calls for the bank to investigate its emergency response proced­ures have come as a clearer picture has emerged of the troubled ­<b>asylum</b>-seeker who allegedly set himself alight inside the Springvale branch, sparking a blaze that resulted in 27 people being hospit­alised with burns and smoke ­inhal­ation.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His housemate Joseph Joseph said his friend’s mental health had deteriorated significantly from the “jovial man” he met in a Queensland detention centre three years ago, with Mr Islam becoming ­“delusional” and “paranoid” in ­recent weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Early reports claimed that Mr Islam had recently gone from bank to bank, pleading for money after his <span class="companylink">Centrelink</span> benefits, understood to be $430 a fortnight, had been stopped.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the Department of Human Services denied that claim yesterday. “Claims about a break or delay in <span class="companylink">Centrelink</span> payments to the suspect of the <span class="companylink">Commonwealth Bank</span> incident in Springvale are ­incorrect and speculative,” a departmental spokeswoman said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Islam’s ethnicity is also ­uncertain. While his housemate insisted that he was part of the ­persecuted Rohingya community, the Burmese Rohingya Community in Australia group distanced itsel­f from Mr Islam after looking into his background.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He is from Burma, there is no doubt about that, but it is clear he is not Rohingya,” community president Anwar Sha said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Terrorism has largely been ruled out as a motive, with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews revealing yesterday that police had advised him the attack was not terror-related.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Mr Joseph, Mr Islam was on a bridging visa that allowed him to work but he did not have a job. “His mum was asking him for money because his sister was sick,” he said. “In Myanmar, you can only go to hospital if you have money. But ... he is broke.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He was thinking: if the government gave money to me, why is the bank not giving it? He was not thinking normally.” The Springvale branch is one of the CBA’s “specialist migrant branches”, set up to help new arrivals, including <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Islam remains under police guard at Melbourne’s The Alfred hospital, where he is being treated for serious burns. He is among five patients who remain there, two of whom are listed as critical.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CBA confirmed yesterday that all 15 staff working during the incid­ent were now safe, with the last hospitalised employee discharged yesterday.The bank declined to comment on what fire safety protocols were in place at the branch, including whether there were sprinklers and fire extinguishers.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whitlam’s foreign minister, Don Willessee, a compassionate Western Australian senator, wanted him to bring some of these people to Australia at the fall of Saigon in April 1975 but Whitlam told him: “I’m not having these f...ing Vietnamese Balts coming into the country with their religious and political prejudices against us.” Later, he remarked: “Vietnamese sob stories don’t wring my withers.” He ensured that Australian transport planes left Saigon as it fell with rows of empty seats while those who had helped us were sent to be “re-educated” or worse. While there is the possibility that those now being detained on Manus Island or Nauru may be able to go to the US, it is clear that the public supports the government initiative.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Though Labor MPs claimed the plan to empty the camps was “extreme”, “evil” and “sick” an Essential Poll in the past fortnight found 56 per cent of respondent approved of the plan, while 29 per cent were ­opposed. The last time Labor opposed and reversed a conservative government’s policy on illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals (after promising to support the existing policy) it cost the Australian taxpayer more than $11 billion and some 1200 men, women and children drowned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor introduced detention camps for illegal arrivals. Under the Abbott and Turnbull governments, 17 of Labor’s camps have been closed and no boats have reached Australia in 847 days but Australians are still paying the cost of managing the legacy caseload of about 30,000 unresolved <b>asylum</b> cases of people who arrived on illegal boats on Labor’s watch. Labor, and its media lapdogs at Fairfax and the ABC, are fed their lines by the <b>Refugee</b> Action Coalition (RAC), which has strong links to the Socialist/Trotskyist organisation Solidarity, though it claims to be an unaffiliated grassroots campaign group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">RAC wants no less than open borders and permanent residency and full rights for all arrivals, with full funding for resettlement. It wants to decriminalise people smuggling and the release of those imprisoned for engaging in the evil industry. Ian Rintoul, the most quoted RAC figure, was according to Margot O’Neill’s book 2009 book Blind Conscience, a founding member of the <span class="companylink">International Socialist Organisation</span> in the 1970s, and left it in 2013 to become a founding member of Solidarity. The ISO boasted on its website that it wanted to smash the capitalist system and Rintoul didn’t rule out using force to do so. O’Neill wrote: “He’s the personification of the ageing revolutionary, still dreaming of a workers’ paradise.” According to Wikipedia, sometimes useful, Solidarity is a Trotskyist organisation in Australia, formed in 2008 from a merger between groups emerging from the International Socialist tradition: the <span class="companylink">International Socialist Organisation</span> (ISO), Socialist Action Group and Solidarity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Solidarity’s website: “The name Solidarity invokes one of the basic values of working class struggle — standing together in the fight for our rights. But it also stands for the wider solidarity we want to see uniting those fighting for change around different issues into a united fightback against the capitalist system and the ruthless drive for profits that dominates our world. Parliament, the army, the police and the courts are institutions of the capitalist state. The state’s role is to maintain the dominance of the corporate ruling class over the rest of society. It cannot be taken over and used by the working class. While parliament can be a platform for socialists and while the outcome of elections matter, real change doesn’t come through parliament. It is won by mass action in strikes, protests and demonstrations.” Rintoul is not alone in cranking out Labor’s lines and feeding the media chooks. Another spokesman for the RAC is Mark Goudkamp, who is also a member of Solidarity and previously a member of the <span class="companylink">International Socialist Organisation</span>. He also advocates voting for the Greens and in 2013 suggested the slogan “decriminalise people smuggling” in order to “articulate a more radical open borders stance”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Globally, there are now some 65.3 million refugees — more than three times the number of people in Australia.Sydney University’s notorious perpetual protester Nick ­Riemer is another open borders supporter, when he is not railing against Israel or former prime minister John Howard. He has been listed as a speaker at the SEARCH Foundation, the successor organisation to the Communist Party of Australia, and is a regular contributor to Solidarity’s magazine and has urged followers to adopt the “logic of force” and hints at more radical action. He even made excuses for the Bataclan murderers. Rintoul, Goudkamp and Riemer are very public figures and beloved of the leftist media and the public should know exactly who they are before signing up for their agenda.</p>

Although my extended family is made up of moderate Liberals, swinging voters, Nationals, strongly union-based Labor voters and right-wingers who would make Pauline Hanson look soft, I have always known why I vote Liberal (and yes, Christmas is ­entertaining).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The two defining issues that make me a conservative are the nation’s ­finances and immigration; both loom large as parliament returns on Monday and both will play a big role in determining the government’s future.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After a year where the parliament has been empty more weeks than it has sat, the final fortnight of the year is critical. The government needs to use the coming period to pass legislation and wrest back a sense of control. The defining focus over the past few weeks has been the US election and for a government desperate to build its own narrative and momentum, the Trump elevation has starved it of oxygen. At this time of year, the usual government play is to tally up achievements and sell them hard into December before the nation switches off and heads to the beach. Clearly, with a Budget held months ago and only partially legislated, followed by a long and difficult election campaign (and a scrappy start to life with a one-seat majority), this hasn’t been an easy year for the Coalition. This is why the final fortnight matters and why if they get their collective act together, the government has two big opportunities to finish the year well.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first is the budget. The numbers from May will be updated in the Mid Year-Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) due out in a few weeks. The MYEFO document is a big test for the government especially as they’ve made “jobs and growth” a key strategic weapon. Alongside the business tax cuts, which they must legislate, getting the focus back onto debt and deficit is important because this is where Labor’s promises fail the fiscal test.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The second issue is immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull must put away the kid gloves and take this issue head on. Rather than fear a fight with the <b>refugee</b> lobby and apologists from the United Nations, he should embrace it. Nothing better defines the demarcation line between the left and right than immigration policy. It is an area where Labor has failed miserably and where Bill Shorten’s hollow words mean nothing because of a rising outbreak within his own ranks. There’s no doubt the boats would start again if Labor was back in power.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now before the professional grievance lobby starts their hectoring, let me be very clear. I believe in immigration and I believe we should be generous in the support we provide new arrivals so they can settle in quickly and join the Australian family but it must be on our terms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Aborigines aside, every single one of us is a migrant or the descendant of migrants so any idea that we wouldn’t want to extend a warm welcome and give this generation of migrants the same opportunities as those who have come earlier is offensive and wrong. But because we also demand the right to control our borders (as any sovereign nation must), that’s precisely the message that the <span class="companylink">UN</span>, the activists, the Greens and Labor’s left want to guilt us into believing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nothing could be further from the truth. Australia is one of only 27 countries in the world that takes refugees via the <span class="companylink">UN</span>’s humanitarian program. That’s right, about 163 other ­countries do not help out. But far be it from the activists to tell you the truth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over many years, Australia has been consistently ranked in the top three resettlement countries in the world, alongside the USA and Canada. Between the three of us, we provide about 80 per cent of global resettlement places each year. Australia’s program — on a per capita basis — is also one of the most generous in terms of arrival support, health, education and language services.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government’s critics, who have complained loudly that they haven’t done enough to fix Labor’s mess (go figure), were knocked for a six when the government announced the deal to send the genuine refugees from Manus and Nauru to the US (not everyone gets to go to the US because, surprise surprise, not everyone was a genuine <b>refugee</b>).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But along with Labor, the leftist lobby were quickly back into their stride, attacking the legislation permanently banning illegal arrivals by <b>boat</b> from ever coming to Australia. They just don’t get it. The only way to clear the camps is to find a reliable resettlement partner and the only way to ensure that no <b>boat</b> people ever make it here is to pass the legislation. Without another country to accept refugees, people must return home or remain indefinitely on Nauru or Manus; ending up in Australia would only restart the smuggling trade. And without the new legislation as an absolutely iron-clad deterrence, the people smugglers once more have a product to sell, the boats will set sail, and the deaths resume.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ordinary Australians are sick of compassionistas who don’t really care about deaths at sea as long as they have a stick to beat our country. They also understand that if we control our borders, we will be able to give places in our humanitarian program to people who need it most. Forget the young men who buy their <b>boat</b> passage here with thousands in cash and falsified documents; how about a fair go for the women and children in camps with no way to buy their way out?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was there when the Coalition stopped the boats and it wasn’t easy. There was also a lot of fear among the senior ranks of government and the bureaucracy that we were fast arriving at the point that if we didn’t stop them this time, we probably may never have stopped them. Such is the professionalism of the smugglers and the growing numbers of people wanting an economic outcome as much as escaping genuine persecution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All credit to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop for persisting in their ­efforts to empty the camps and finally close this miserable chapter in the ­history of the Rudd-Gillard government’s failures.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Let’s be clear: immigration is good for Australia, provided — and this is very important — newcomers are ready to leave old hatreds aside and make the effort to fit into their new home. We should expect them to fit in. This doesn’t mean they have to deny their ethnicity or lose their cultural richness. But where their culture is at odds with the freedoms and equalities that we demand in Australia (such as the treatment of women), yes they do.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The only people blushing or cringing at terms such as “integration” are the professional <b>refugee</b> lobbyists who fear losing a cause — not migrants who are normally proud of just how Australian they’ve become.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THUMBS UP Malcolm Turnbull: Ruling out reappointing Human Rights chief Gillian Triggs was a victory for common sense.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It seems ridiculous but, when Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton proposed a life-time visa ban on anyone who had reached Australia by <b>boat</b> since July 2013, the bitter reaction was all part of the plan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Livid at Bill Shorten's 2015 switch to me-tooism over turn backs, the government had eyed a political dividend on the way to achieving a policy hardening it actually believed in and which relied on opposition support.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Again, a government had put politics before policy. Again, the saccharine lure of a cheap boast had trumped the enduring nutrition of problem solving.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It took the opposition a few days to formalise its rejection but, by then, Shorten, and a host of commentators, had behaved as predicted, branding the measure Abbottesque, ludicrous, gratuitously punitive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Vindictive" and "unjustified" fumed one national commentator, incredulous at how far Turnbull had drifted from his compassionate billing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton, who was simultaneously hinting and withholding details of a third-country resettlement deal, laid out Labor's options: doleful compliance, or a full-throated attack in which it would be cast as soft on borders and a threat to national security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A week later, the government announced its US breakthrough. A year in the making, this was the first decisive step away from an intractable, dehumanising regime of deprivation and punishment through indefinite detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally, Turnbull had a good news story to tell. Finally, a solution to a puzzle of diabolical moral and practical complexity. And slowly, the first outlines of the case for a visa ban would also be visible. The order of announcements had been "arse-about" conceded one official, who nonetheless supported the visa ban.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government had been warned that the one-off US agreement carried grave risks. Its experts said the transfer would amount to a new pull factor: "sugar on the table" for people smugglers who excelled at marketing the thinnest of hopes to their despairing clientele.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Resettlement in the US was now possible, albeit via Australia. Even the policy change itself would be seized on as proof that you needed only to wait-out Australian resolve. Eventually, you'd get in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is particularly relevant to those non-refugees in Nauru and Manus Island, who will not be covered by the US deal. Many of these are Iranians. Tehran does not accept returnees unless they are voluntary. These people are holding on, for any change in Canberra, any weakening.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The answer, Turnbull and Dutton were told, was to dispel all illusions, to buttress the huge increase in the physical assets of Operation Sovereign Borders, with a new and deliberately aggressive statement of the clearest possible intent. "There would be no resettlement, no entry, not even to visit. Not now. Not ever."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To be convincing, bipartisanship was also critical, notwithstanding that Turnbull and Dutton had pretty much engineered things to ensure this was unlikely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Based on what it had been told, Labor had recoiled at the capricious absurdity of a law that would refuse a tourist visa to an former <b>refugee</b> in 40 years' time simply because she/he had once sought protection in this country. A lawful act by the way, and one that carries legal responsibilities for Australia, let's not forget.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet on sober inspection, now that the US deal is confirmed, there may be grounds for Labor to reconsider.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those grounds would not be on the merits of the life-time visa ban itself - which would be unfair and absurd in practice - but on the policy impact of declaring the ban in the first place, and of legislating it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Harsh as it seems, when viewed within the overall architecture of the one-off US deal, and against the agreed metric of not restarting the people smuggling trade, the ban's strident exclamation could convince non-<b>refugee</b> detainees to go home and could dissuade new <b>asylum</b> seeker boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The imperative all agree on is to clear the camps, and to do so without inviting new <b>boat</b> arrivals. To empty Manus and Nauru. That would be a win, and one worth pursuing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton has even acknowledged publicly that the life-time ban can be repealed by a subsequent Labor government, a clear signal that this policy is 99 per cent message, 1 per cent delivery, maybe less.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Had Turnbull and Dutton proposed the visa ban at the same time as announcing the US deal - and had they tried to get Labor's support first - the ban might have been broadly supported, based on a nod and a wink that it would never be implemented in practice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Would Labor have co-operated on those terms? It is difficult to imagine, though not impossible. Should it reconsider its opposition now? Probably. Will it do so? No.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By the way, that national commentator mentioned above was this correspondent. Evidence perhaps that reasoned arguments and reference to the larger moral imperative can persuade people more effectively than point-scoring politics ever will.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wasn't that Turnbull's promise?</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Our lives would have been completely different, we would have been in detention centres. When I think about that, it blows my mind."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the other side of the country, Hadi, who arrived as an <b>asylum</b> seeker in 2010 and now lives in Perth working as a tiler, has a very different story to tell.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has a wife and three children in Afghanistan whom he has not seen for seven years. His fourth child has died since his departure. He has at least another five years to wait before he can apply to bring them out here - that is, if he is successful in gaining his Safe Haven Enterprise visa, for which he is still waiting.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It is not easy to tell someone what I am feeling because it is so painful" he says. "My son, if I see him in five years, will be a man - that is if he survives.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hadi's plight is common to thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers, highlighted in a report released this weekend by the <span class="companylink"><b>Refugee</b> Council of Australia</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The council says family reunion has become difficult enough for refugees on permanent visas - with increasingly long waiting times, and in many cases very high fees - but virtually impossible for those on temporary visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The report, based on extensive surveys of <b>asylum</b> seekers by the council's policy officer Sahar Okhovat, warns the "physical security offered by Australia is offset by the ongoing mental anguish of family separation".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It finds there can be a wait of up to 14 years for heavily restricted family reunion places under the Special Humanitarian Program, whereby demand outstrips places by seven to one. In desperation, some <b>asylum</b> seekers turn to other visas where very high fees apply, impoverishing themselves in the process.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It took them seven attempts over a decade, and cost him and his wife $32,000, for which they saved by each working several casual jobs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For those seeking parent and aged parent visas, waiting times are 30 years, and the total cost of bringing both parents can reach nearly $100,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>Refugee</b> Council says opening more pathways for legally resident <b>asylum</b> seekers to reunite with families would bring huge social benefits.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We want refugees who come here set up to prosper.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Allocate 5000 visas under the family stream of the migration program for <b>refugee</b> and humanitarian entrants.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 21-year-old, known to his friends as Nur Islam, is believed to be a Rohingya <b>asylum</b> seeker from Myanmar who has been in Australia since 2013. Federal government sources said he is living in the community on a bridging visa.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Friends and community leaders said he had "struggled mentally" in recent months. One member of the Rohingya community, Abdul Hamid, said Mr Nur appeared quiet when he saw him recently. "He wasn't talking too much because of his mental problems," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Nur had been living in a Springvale share house on a bridging visa and is believed to have spent time on Christmas Island and then at a detention centre in Weipa after attempting to travel to Australia by <b>boat</b> as an unaccompanied minor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Housemates at the white, weatherboard house said he had moved into the house two months ago. Joseph Joseph, who lived at the house, said Mr Nur was "not normal", was extremely concerned about money problems related to his sister, who had become sick back in Myanmar, and claimed in recent times to have seen ghosts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"In Burma if you go to hospital you have nothing, it's hard to survive," Mr Joseph said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As his money problems worsened, Mr Nur became increasingly agitated at his inability to access <span class="companylink">Centrelink</span> payments that he believed were owed to him, Mr Joseph said. "He said, 'why the government give money to me and the bank not give me,"' Mr Joseph said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian Burmese Rohingya Organisation president Habib Habib said the man was in Australia without family, but was close to his friends in the small local community. He had shared concerns about his immigration status and the safety of his family back home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He was struggling mentally for the past year or two because his visa has not been processing," Mr Habib said. "He has been suffering and his friends say his welfare payment was not received and he couldn't pay his rent."</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull's <b>refugee</b> visa ban has some merit, so it's a shame politics was put before policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It seems ridiculous, but when Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton proposed a lifetime visa ban on anyone who had reached Australia by <b>boat</b> since July 2013, the bitter reaction was all part of the plan.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Livid at Bill Shorten's 2015 switch to me-tooism over turn-backs, the government had eyed a political dividend on the way to achieving a policy hardening it actually believes in and that relies on opposition support.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once again, a government had put politics before policy. Once again, the saccharine lure of a cheap boast had trumped the enduring nutrition of problem solving. It took the opposition a few days to formalise its rejection, but by then, Shorten, and a host of commentators, had behaved as predicted, branding the measure Abbott-esque, ludicrous, gratuitously punitive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Vindictive" and "unjustified" fumed one national commentator, incredulous at how far Turnbull had drifted from his compassionate billing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton, who was simultaneously hinting and withholding details of a third-country resettlement deal, laid out Labor's options: doleful compliance, or a full-throated attack in which it would be cast as soft on borders and a threat to national security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A week later, the government announced its US breakthrough. A year in the making, this was the first decisive step away from an intractable, dehumanising regime of deprivation and punishment through indefinite detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally, Turnbull had a good news story to tell. Finally, a solution to a puzzle of diabolical moral and practical complexity. And slowly, the first outlines of the case for a visa ban would also be visible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The order of announcements had been "arse-about" conceded one official, who nonetheless supported the visa ban. The government had been warned that the one-off US agreement carried grave risks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Its experts said the transfer would amount to a new pull factor - "sugar on the table" for people smugglers who excel at marketing the thinnest of hopes to their despairing clientele.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Resettlement in the US was now possible, albeit via Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even the policy change itself would be seized on as proof that you need only to wait out Australian resolve. Eventually, you'll get in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is particularly relevant to those non-refugees in Nauru and Manus Island currently, who will not be covered by the American deal. Many of these are Iranians. Tehran does not accept returnees unless they are voluntary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These people are holding on, for any change in Canberra policies, any weakening.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The answer, Turnbull and Dutton were told, was to dispel all illusions - to buttress the massive increase in the physical assets of Operation Sovereign Borders, with a new and deliberately aggressive statement of the clearest possible intent. "There would be no resettlement, no entry, not even to visit. Not now. Not ever."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To be convincing, bipartisanship was also critical, notwithstanding that Turnbull and Dutton had pretty much engineered things to ensure this was unlikely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Based on what it had been told, Labor had recoiled at the capricious absurdity of a law that would refuse a tourist visa to an ex-<b>refugee</b> in 40 years' time simply because she/he had once sought protection in this country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A lawful act by the way, and one which carries legal responsibilities for Australia, let's not forget.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet on sober inspection, now that the US deal is confirmed, there might be grounds for Labor to reconsider.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those grounds would not be on the merits of the lifetime visa ban itself - which would be unfair and absurd in practice - but on the policy impact of declaring the ban in the first place, and of legislating it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Harsh as it seems, when viewed within the overall architecture of the one-off US deal, and against the agreed metric of not restarting the people-smuggling trade, the ban's strident exclamation could convince non-<b>refugee</b> detainees to go home and could dissuade new <b>asylum</b> seeker boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The imperative all agree on is to clear the camps, and to do so without inviting new <b>boat</b> arrivals. To empty Manus and Nauru. That would be a win, and one worth pursuing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton has even acknowledged publicly that the lifetime ban could be repealed by a subsequent Labor government - a clear signal that this policy is 99 per cent message, 1 per cent delivery, maybe less.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Had Turnbull and Dutton proposed the visa ban at the same time as announcing the US deal - and had they tried to get Labor's support first - the ban might have been broadly supported, based on a nod-and-wink that it would never be implemented in practice. Would Labor have co-operated on those terms?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is difficult to imagine, though not impossible. Should it reconsider its opposition now? Probably. Will it do so? No.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By the way, that national commentator mentioned above was this correspondent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Evidence perhaps that reasoned arguments and reference to the larger moral imperative can persuade people more effectively than point-scoring politics ever will.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wasn't that Turnbull's promise?</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The PM defends free trade; Shorten goes populist</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The world is awash with politicians in the early phase of reacting to Donald Trump , who remains an unpredictable work in progress, with Malcolm Turnbull defending the principles of globalisation and Bill Shorten exploiting Trumpism for populist gains.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump’s election is going to change the world. It will have a material impact on Australian politics as Trump alters US economic and foreign policy. The most likely result will be to deepen the polarisation of our politics with the contrasting responses of Turnbull and Shorten verifying this initial view.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The challenge for the government is immense. With a US president elected on values unacceptable to many Australians, Turnbull’s task as PM is to ensure effective Australia-US ties in this new and erratic order, hardly a trouble free job. Shorten, by contrast, is having a happy and cynical time exploiting Trumpism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull is in close contact with Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe , the first foreign leader to meet Trump. He spoke to Abe before the Japanese leader met Trump in New York and is planning to see Abe again at Lima during the <span class="companylink">APEC</span> meeting – a forum where the informal chatter among leaders will be about the meaning of Trump.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Speaking at the <span class="companylink">Business Council of Australia</span> annual dinner before leaving for Peru Turnbull offered a rallying defence of free trade and globalisation, repudiating, in effect, the Trump populists at home and abroad and coming into direct conflict with Trump’s declarations during his campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull was right to defend free trade and liberal economics as the foundations of global prosperity. The worst mistake an Australian leader can make at this point is to surrender economic principles to Trump’s false prescriptions. Yet at the same time Turnbull cannot ignore the lessons from the Trump phenomenon.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He must respond to the domestic political vibes triggered by Trump’s win where the populists of the Right preach the phony message of Trump as hero and the progressives of the Left demonise him as a way to advance their social agendas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Above all, Turnbull needs to ensure that Trump honours the <b>refugee</b> re-settlement deal he negotiated with the Obama administration for the US to accept refugees from Nauru and Papua New Guinea, the breakthrough that will see a large reduction in offshore <b>refugee</b> numbers. At home the lunatic Right wants to sink this deal claiming it is too generous while Labor and the Greens are lining up to repudiate Turnbull’s related and tough lifetime ban on <b>boat</b> arrival <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump can be expected to honour the <b>refugee</b> deal. It would be extraordinary if he didn’t. In that case, the political body blow to Turnbull would be vast. It would be an act of hostility towards Australia by Trump and a show of contempt for Turnbull. His opponents at home would engage in a feeding frenzy. The message would be manifest: don’t get close to Trump, don’t trust him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Abe/Turnbull diplomacy is for high stakes. They are trying to get Trump to change his mind and reverse his rejection of the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal. Given the ferocity of Trump’s campaign stance that seems unlikely, but the kudos for Abe and Turnbull if they succeeded would be immense.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Beyond that, Abe-Turnbull diplomacy seeks to persuade Trump to commit to the three way US-Japan-Australia strategic partnership. That means abandoning his threat to distance the US from its security treaty with Japan and even tolerate Japan going nuclear, the single most irresponsible Trump position. Again, any Abe-Turnbull success would be a triumph.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his Thursday night speech Turnbull said “we have to make the case for trade”. He called for policies to “increase global economic integration”, warned that retreat was the “wrong call,” said protection bred monopoly and sloth and argued the gains from free trade were known as a proven historical fact. He didn’t mention Trump but his rejection of Trump’s trade views was necessary, welcome and valid.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unsurprisingly, Turnbull said free trade delivered uneven results and the task was to ensure open markets “are seen to deliver for all Australians and not just a few”. He had the courage to tell the truth, saying the lesson from Trump’s win was the need for policy changes to “be seen to be fair in a very broad sense” but this did not mean examining “each decision in isolation looking at a narrow set of winners and losers”. That is a brave statement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull’s views, by the way, coincide with the revised stance of new British PM Theresa May , who said this week that Britain aimed to be “the strongest global advocate for free markets and free trade” while recognising that globalisation had “left too many people behind” and “has to be managed to work for everyone”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By contrast, Bill Shorten played the populist card, saying after Trump’s win that Labor would “build Australian first, buy Australian first in our contracts and employ Australians first” — a repudiation of markets and openness and pure Hansonism in its pitch.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In case anybody missed the point, Shorten was specific, saying Labor would “heed the lessons from the mines and mills and factories of Detroit, of Ohio, of Pennsylvania” — a cheap and easy effort to exploit the US rust-belt malaise and also position Labor against the expected domestic protectionism and fear campaign Pauline Hanson will run in the upcoming Queensland state election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten ran on Trumpism all week. He declared there would be no “rubber stamp” for free trade agreements that lost old jobs and didn’t create new jobs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He intensified Labor’s campaign against foreign workers on 457 visas, saying Turnbull was bringing in cheap labour from overseas and denying local tradespeople the jobs they deserved. He accused the government of exploiting guest workers, allowing Australian wages to be cut and promoting “a race to the bottom” on pay and conditions. He mocked Turnbull’s comments about “winners and losers”, saying the winners under Turnbull were big banks, multinationals and millionaires — and the losers were, wait for it, “everyone else”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Relying on Trumpism, Shorten recycled his pre-election claims that Turnbull wanted “to take Australia down the American path of low wages and a broken health care system”. Turnbull’s vision, according to Shorten, was to make Australia “become more like America”. Shorten’s version of fairness, he said, was an Australia-first policy, in short, a protectionist stance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No doubt Shorten’s populism will play well with the voters. He proved that during the election campaign. In this sense, Trump offers Shorten the chance to entrench his electoral pitch. Shorten, of course, is merely playing politics — he thinks he has found a winning formula and he may be proved right. But Shorten is also proving something else — his cynicism is a risk for the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Thursday, Shorten spoke to the ACOSS conference declaring the government had not changed its values since the 2014 budget and was continuing an “attack on the marginalised, the dispossessed, the less well-off” in alliance with the conservative media in a campaign conducted “by ideology, by chest-beating, by scaremongering about time-bombs, blow-outs and bludgers”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He declared that inequality and how it was tackled “will define our future success as a nation”. He attacked the government over pensions, child care, penalty rates and unemployment and its proposed savings in the welfare budget. He attacked the government’s proposed corporate tax cuts as “crazy” and said Trump’s election made “no difference” whatsoever to the argument against them. He offered sustained emotional support to the welfare sector at every point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He offered nothing about welfare reform, about the problem of entrenched welfare, mocked the notion of an unsustainable welfare budget, ignored the reality that welfare is growing faster than GDP or the CPI or that it is being partly funded on foreign borrowings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten’s speech contrasted with that of Social Services Minister, Christian Porter, who raised with ACOSS the evidence recently released through the Priority Investment Approach showing too many examples of young people entering the welfare system and at risk of remaining as recipients for their entire life. Porter pointed out the multiple defects in the system — its complexity, the lack of mutual obligation requirements and the need to facilitate better the transition to work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Initial impressions are that Trump’s values are likely to provide the progressive side of Australian politics with an enticing target that will reinforce its existing economic and social policies while also creating immense challenges for Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A possible exception is the Turnbull agenda for corporate tax cuts, now facing significant demolition in the Senate. The Senate majority, it seems, discounts the notion of a competitive corporate tax regime for Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This prompted Business Council of Australia chief executive, Jennifer Westacott , to argue that Trump’s tax policies must influence the Australian debate. With business investment falling to levels not seen since the early 1990s recession, Westacott said: “Uncompetitive tax rates prevent otherwise profitable investments from going ahead. If president- elect Trump delivers his commitment to lower the US company rate from 35 per cent to 15 per cent — we will be floundering in terms of our competitiveness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Remember the British are at 20 per cent. The average rate for Asian economies is 22 per cent. We are at 30 per cent. We have to get real about this issue.” Of course, where Trump finishes and what he can legislate remains unknown at this point. The signs, however, are that Trump intends to throw the kitchen sunk at the US economy and seek a resurgence through both tax cuts and higher spending on infrastructure and defence — at the cost of the bottom line.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The further Australian reality cannot be denied — while Turnbull’s overall message this week was sound, it is not enough. The government needs a more significant policy response to the great dilemma raised by Trump: how to defend markets and globalisation on one hand yet cushion the impact for the losers of globalisation on the other.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unless the Turnbull government devises a substantial policy rethink before the 2017 budget it will succumb to the populist power and ruthless tactics of Shorten. In essence, this is the ultimate task for Turnbull and his Treasurer, Scott Morrison over the coming months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time Trump’s foreign policy is likely to bring the US alliance into dispute in this country as an issue between the Coalition and Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This can happen in many different and possibly contradictory ways — by Trump intensifying the US military posture against China or weakening the US alliance system in Asia or failing to engage with a forward-looking US regional strategy.Turnbull will seek to engage Trump, the risk being he might get burnt. Shorten will support the US alliance but hedge his bets — the Shorten way — if, as expected, Trump’s policies cause the progressive side of politics to revolt against him.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 21-year-old man was under police guard in Melbourne’s The Alfred hospital, believed to be in a critical condition, after being found cowering, wounded and badly burnt in an alley behind the bank. The ­man, who is understood to have arrived by <b>boat</b> at Christmas Island in 2013 and had been living in the community on a bridging visa, ­allegedly set himself alight inside the Springvale branch of the <span class="companylink">Commonwealth Bank</span> in the city’s southeast shortly before midday, sparking an explosion and fire that swept through the building.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Witnesses described seeing the injured run screaming from the bank with horrific burns. Video of the aftermath shows flames leaping from the carpet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Customers battled black smoke to escape, with a tradesman among bystanders who rushed to the scene with fire ­extinguishers and doused the distressed victims with water.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 26 victims included a toddler and an elderly man, understood to be in his 80s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’m shaking right now, I’m shaking,” said Tran Phan, a local trader who was captured on film in the immediate aftermath of the incident.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This guy just came into the bank and poured petrol and started lighting up. I’m so lucky I got out.” Witnesses claimed the man appeared distressed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Apparently he was crying about how he got moved from house to house and they wouldn’t give him money”, said Ashley Atkin-Fone, a civil engineer who was working nearby.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Together with a colleague, Mr Atkin-Fone rushed to assist after hearing “a big, massive explosion” and screaming.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My mate went round the back and the offender was there, he was a mess, he had his skin ripped off,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There was no way he was going to get away. He was in shock.” A total of 26 people were taken to hospital with burns or smoke inhalation, with six transferred to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition, but four of the critically injured had improved last night.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The shocking attack, occurring near a primary school and one of Melbourne’s busiest suburban train stations, came after the alleged offender was seen buying fuel from a nearby petrol station. CCTV footage has captured the accused — who was under police guard last night — walking along Springvale Road moments before he arrived at the branch, distressed about his housing and financial circumstances.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Police do not believe the man’s actions were terror-related, rather that there might have been political elements at play.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, The Weekend Australian understands that the ­accused, who had made an <b>asylum</b> claim and came from Myanmar, was not facing deportation. He was eligible to apply for a Temporary Protection Visa, but he had not done so.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sources claim he had been well behaved while in detention and there was no history of mental ­illness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the incident the man was found cowering inside boxes in an alley at the rear of the building, suffering from burn injuries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most of his clothes appeared to have been burnt or blown from his body. Ambulance Victoria spokesman Andy Roughton described the immediate aftermath as “quite chaotic”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He confirmed 26 people had been transferred to hospital for treatment; six of them were “very critical”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s traumatic for everyone involved, the emergency services and bystanders,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’re conscious of that. It’s a dreadful thing to witness.” By evening, The Alfred Hospital had two of those patients listed as “critical”, while the others were listed as “serious” or “serious but ­stable”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Acting Inspector Jackie Poidas said arson police were continuing to investigate the incident and it appeared the alleged offender had used accelerant to start the fire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He walked in to the bank and he lit that accelerant which caused some sort of fire within the bank,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He set himself alight with that fire and there was a number of other people in the bank at that time that received some injuries as well.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He left the bank, police ­attended shortly after and assisted him.” Paul Carrigg, of the CFA, said there was evidence of an explosion and significant damage had ­resulted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said that the blaze appeared to have ignited just inside the front of the building.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While police continue to investigate the motive behind the ­attack, it is the latest case of an ­<b>asylum</b>-seeker setting themselves alight, or self-immolating.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A staff member at the payday loan operator across the road, who did not wish to be identified, ­described the aftermath as “horrifying”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“One man was crying, screaming, “Why me? Why me?” she said.“He had skin just falling off his arm. It was awful.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jane would often envision the futures of the refugees she worked to protect on Nauru if they were to settle in Australia. The Canberra-based whistleblower has joined condemnation of the Turnbull government's planned ban, which would prevent people held in offshore detention from July 19, 2013 who were re-settled in other countries from entering Australia - even for business, tourism or to see family. "It saddens me to know that [if the bill passes] Australia will forever deprive itself of the resource and opportunity in the many talented, intelligent and thoughtful humans who are currently held in Nauru and Manus islands, either as residents, contributors to our society or even as tourists," Jane said. "For me this is not about a nameless and faceless 2000-odd people, it's about the beautiful souls and faces with tired but heart-warming smiles I walked among, their hopes and dreams frozen in time, waiting on the humanity of Australia to prevail." She said she felt a "stab of intangible grief and loss for those I'd come to know so well" when the government proposed "campaigns of cruelty and punishment against</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">a select group of people." Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the measure was partly designed to stop refugees from marrying Australians and subsequently coming to the country on a partner visa, which he deemed "not acceptable". The lifetime ban bill passed the House of Representatives 73-69 and will likely be voted by the Senate within the next fortnight. But the government's hopes may be crushed by Labor, Greens and crossbench opposition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This contrasts with the government's separate plan to resettle offshore detainees in the US, which has been welcomed by all sides of Australian politics - though it could be vetoed by the incoming Trump administration. The <b>Refugee</b> Action Committee Canberra desperately hopes the <b>refugee</b> ban goes down in the Senate, calling it extreme, ill- conceived, cruel, horrible and bizarre. RAC Canberra recently led a 2500-strong anti-offshore detention protest in Canberra, addressed by former ACT chief minister Jon Stanhope. RAC Canberra spokeswoman Anne-Marie Delahunt said the group would continue to fight the government's "extremism" and members would keep pressuring Liberal MPs to back down. "The Governor of South Australia, Hieu Van Le, is a <b>refugee</b> who came on a <b>boat</b> who has made outstanding contributors to this country," Ms Delahunt said. "Honestly,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">do we want in 40 years time to have an equivalent person to him refused entry to Australia?" ACT Labor Senator Katy Gallagher said the numbers would be "very tight". Regardless of how the issue plays out federally, she said Canberra had always welcomed refugees and had confidence ACT Labor would continue to "lead the way in supporting additional refugees to make their home in Canberra". In May, <b>refugee</b> advocates mobbed the offices of Senator Gallagher and ACT Liberal Senator Zed Seselja in a snap demonstration against offshore detention. Senator Seselja did not respond directly to criticisms of the government's <b>asylum</b> seeker policies, instead saying that "Canberrans ... don't want to see chaos at our borders and deaths at sea". He claimed the Labor Party held "absolute responsibility" for the detention of people in the offshore centres. "Bill Shorten talks about people smuggling and the need for resettlement as though he and Labor have no responsibility for offshore processing and detention," he said. "The only reason people are on Nauru and Manus is because of the Labor Government's negligent and dangerous policies."</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Former Liberal leader John Hewson has accused the Coalition of "cheap political arse-covering" over attempts to link Malcolm Fraser's 1970s immigration policies to criminal gang activity and Islamic radicalisation in Australia today. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton attacked the Fraser government's policies on Thursday, saying they were partly to blame for Australia's struggle with foreign fighters travelling to international conflict zones and suburban violence linked to newly arrived communities. Mr Dutton said many Australians fighting in the Middle East were the children or grandchildren of migrants who settled during the 1970s and '80s - an apparent reference to the more than 16,000 people who came from Lebanon in the wake of the 1976 civil war. "The reality is Malcolm Fraser did make mistakes in bringing some people in the 1970s and we're seeing that today," he told Sky News. "We need to be honest in having that discussion. There was a mistake made." Mr Dutton said recent gang activity involving young people from Victoria's Sudanese community was a result of "weak" law and order policies from the state Labor government. Dr Hewson, who led the Liberal Party from 1990 until 1994, slammed Mr Dutton's comments and called on Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to show leadership. "I am sure successive governments have made similar 'mistakes' ... and probably so</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">too with the present government, that will emerge in the future," he said. "But, why make this point now? Is this a cheap attempt to appeal to the anti- immigration, anti-<b>refugee</b> movement? "Time for forward-looking leadership - time to rise above the mire." During the Fraser government, as many as 200,000 migrants arrived in Australia from Asia, as part of policies focused on multiculturalism and resettlement. Plans for Lebanese refugees to come to Australia in the Fraser years prompted warnings from immigration authorities about the risk of temporary changes to eligibility standards. Cabinet records from the period, released in 2007, show officials believed many lacked qualities considered important to integration in Australia, while some were viewed as unskilled, illiterate and of poor character. The Fraser government also resettled about 50,000 Vietnamese refugees and <b>boat</b> people in Australia, a key legacy of Mr Fraser's tenure as prime minister. Before his death in 2015, he defended the policies and rejected links between <b>refugee</b> arrivals and racial tensions in contemporary Australia. The comments came as a newly established parliamentary inquiry prepares to consider resettlement outcomes for migrants to Australia, including community services, the importance of English language skills and whether existing processes adequately assess resettlement prospects. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said he supported the inquiry but accused Mr Dutton of trying to distract from the Coalition's own failures on migration.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It seems ridiculous but when Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton proposed a life-time visa ban on anyone who had reached Australia by <b>boat</b> since July 2013, the bitter reaction was all part of the plan.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Livid at Bill Shorten's 2015 switch to me-tooism over <b>boat</b> turnbacks, the government had eyed a political dividend on the way to achieving a policy hardening it actually believes in and which relies on Opposition support.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It took the Opposition a few days to formalise its rejection, but by then Shorten, and a host of commentators, had behaved as predicted, branding the measure Abbottesque, ludicrous, gratuitously punitive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton, who was simultaneously hinting and withholding details of a third-country resettlement deal, laid out Labor's options: doleful compliance, or a full throated attack in which it would be cast as soft on borders and a threat to national security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A week later, the government announced its US breakthrough. A year in the making, this was the first decisive step away from an intractable, dehumanising regime of deprivation and punishment through indefinite detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally, Turnbull had a good news story to tell.And slowly, the first outlines of the case for a visa ban would also be visible. The government had been warned that the one-off US agreement carried grave risks. Its experts said the transfer would amount to a new pull factor - "sugar on the table" for people smugglers who excel at marketing the thinnest of hopes to their despairing clientele.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The answer, Turnbull and Dutton were told, was to dispel all illusions - to buttress the massive increase in the physical assets of Operation Sovereign Borders with a new and deliberately aggressive statement of the clearest possible intent. "There would be no resettlement, no entry, not even to visit. Not now. Not ever."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To be convincing, bipartisanship was also critical, notwithstanding that Turnbull and Dutton had pretty much engineered things to ensure this was unlikely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet on sober inspection, now that the US deal is confirmed, there might be grounds for Labor to reconsider.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Harsh as it seems, when viewed within the overall architecture of the one-off US deal, and against the agreed metric of not restarting the people smuggling trade, the ban's strident exclamation could convince non-<b>refugee</b> detainees to go home and could dissuade new <b>asylum</b> seeker boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The imperative all agree on is to clear the camps, and to do so without inviting new <b>boat</b> arrivals. That would be a win, and one worth pursuing.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After completing his 18-day mission investigating Australia's treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers and migrants at the invitation of the Australian government, the <span class="companylink">UN</span> special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, Francois Crepeau, reinforced conclusions drawn by others who have examined the nation's mandatory detention policy.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He praised the nation for increasing its humanitarian intake from 2018, its acceptance of 12,000 Syrian refugees, the moves to remove children from detention and its "generous and well thought through integration programs" for those accepted under resettlement programs. But Mr Crepeau's preliminary report took aim at <b>boat</b> turnbacks, mandatory detention and the differences in treatment between those who come by sea and those who come by plane.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I think the Australian authorities have put in place a very punitive approach which specifically targets unauthorised maritime arrivals who are treated very differently to unauthorised air arrivals," he said."The treatment is predicated on the idea that it sends a message to the smugglers, a message to the candidates that may want to come in an unauthorised fashion, but to me that is not a justification.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both the Left and Right are finding plenty of fault with the PM’s <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Too soft for some, too brutal for others. That is Malcolm Turnbull ’s predicament as he tries to hold the middle ground of Australian politics. In a bickering political class that keeps shrinking the space allowed for compromise, the Prime Minister looks ­besieged.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull’s most dangerous venture, on border protection, leaves him exposed to attack from both ends of the political spectrum. His leadership is at stake in his decision to announce a resettlement deal with the US while risking a Senate veto of his “lifetime ban” on <b>asylum</b>-seekers who come by <b>boat</b>. The prospect of defeat is real.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is more pressing than the disputes that dominated the past week. The fight over foreign workers, almost comic in its political opportunism, has no such ­urgency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The questions over Australia’s alliance with the US depend entirely on the evolution of Donald Trump’s incoming administration. The battle in parliament over workplace reform can be fought again if a bill is defeated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no such flexibility on <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy. Turnbull has put his fate in the hands of Trump, the Senate crossbench and Indonesian people-smugglers who see an opportunity to encourage more <b>asylum</b>-seekers on to boats. He tries to win on all three counts. But what poker machine would turn up three aces in a row?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The horror scenario is a rejection from the US president-elect on the resettlement of refugees, as well as a veto in the Senate for the lifetime ban. Another nightmare is the arrival of <b>asylum</b>-seekers lured by the prospect of life in the world’s richest country, no matter how distant that prospect might be. These are huge risks for a leader whose authority is constantly questioned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet the outcome could be the closure of the Manus Island detention centre, a continued halt to <b>boat</b> arrivals and a better life for refugees who have been kept in camps for years. Turnbull, dismissed so often as a man who stands for nothing, takes the risk of fighting for an outcome.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten promises a unity ticket on border protection but forms an alliance of convenience with Pauline Hanson instead. Labor, the Greens and One Nation all find fault with the government plan. Each seeks to break the policy down to its component parts, hoping to take what they like and jettison the rest.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For one bizarre moment the Greens and One Nation both decried the US agreement. Greens senator Nick McKim thought it cruel to send refugees to “Donald Trump’s America” while One ­Nation’s Brian Burston thought life in a “First World” country was too good for them. Burston also called it “disloyal” to the US to negotiate the arrangement in the first place. The question of loyalty to Australia went unmentioned. The Greens decided on reflection that life in the US might not be so harsh.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The incoherence is obvious. Emotions run high when <b>asylum</b>- seekers are concerned. The government seeks to take a middle path but is jostled and heckled from both sides.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hanson’s criticism highlights the danger to Turnbull on the Right. Like others on the conservative end of the spectrum, she seems to be willing Trump to cancel the arrangement as soon as he takes office on January 20.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s just putting the wrong message out there,” Hanson told Radio National on Tuesday. “These people are going to a First World country where they’re going to have a wonderful life. And a lot of these people are economic refugees — they’ve shopped around for the country they want to go to.” Hanson wants the <b>asylum</b>- seekers punished. She shrugs off the fact the <span class="companylink">UN High Commissioner for Refugees</span> has decided 1600 of them are genuine refugees. This is not an isolated view. Many Australians, quite possibly a majority, disapprove of those who come by <b>boat</b>. Very few Australians name the poor treatment of <b>asylum</b>-seekers as the nation’s biggest problem.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Years of media focus on the detention camps has not shifted this opinion. No government can ignore this reality. Turnbull’s greatest risk with voters is not the lifetime ban but his attempt to clear the Manus Island detention centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He could easily blunder simply by making the attempt to do what Labor and the Greens have demanded for years, fixing a problem Labor caused by filling the centre in the first place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s response is righteous indignation over the lifetime ban, a refusal to accept that the law could be needed to deter more arrivals when the resettlement deal might restart the boats. It hopes for short memories in the community, an eagerness to forget what took place when Kevin Rudd tried a gentler approach on border protection in 2008.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor also has a temporary “disunity ticket” with One Nation to help wreck Turnbull’s plans. Shorten and Hanson offer different criticisms of the government package but the combined effect could be to tear it down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Get used to this dynamic. The Right and Left joined forces against the government’s superannuation tax increases during the election campaign. Governing from the centre is more difficult than ever.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fact Shorten managed the media so well this week, running rings around Turnbull by starting a fight over 457 visas for foreign workers, shows again how he plays politics faster and harder than his opponent. He amplifies the anxieties and grievances of an unhappy electorate, a job that can only get easier if the uprising at the US election leads to aftershocks in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is a bigger problem for Turnbull than the “elite” media he complains about. He represents the status quo when disaffected voters want change. Nobody would call him a change agent but he will need to become one if he wants to survive.Success on border protection gives Turnbull a chance to lead the government to a policy ­victory. No wonder both ends of the political spectrum are willing him to fail.</p>

A deserved win for him in Victoria and then as Australian of the Year would’ve restored prestige to an award that’s lost its lustre.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian Government’s <b>asylum</b> seeker policy is subverting human rights and causing pain, says Peter Henning</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull has launched another leaky vessel into murky water.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The secrecy of this latest misadventure, to swap “banned illegals” , or some of them, for American “illegals”, has now been made public by Turnbull, in what appears a last-ditch bid to preserve his own sense of “compassion”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Too little, too late.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The plan smacks of a handwashing exercise. Even if an attempt is made to move people from Nauru to the US before Obama leaves office, has Australia’s Government thought about its fate after Trump becomes president? A source close to the incoming administration said the idea is “absurd”, and “when word gets out, it will be dead on arrival”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Canadian writer and filmmaker Naomi Klein, author of the award-winning book The Shock Doctrine, said on the ABC’s Q&A last week that conditions on Nauru and Manus Island were an international atrocity as “insane and racist” as Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall with Mexico. She criticised Australians for ignoring people “so desperate to have their freedom of speech that they’re self-immolating ... sewing their mouths shut so they can be heard”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Klein’s comments followed after PM Turnbull had blithely declared his Government treated people in offshore detention with “compassion”, and proudly announced that adult <b>asylum</b> seekers sent to Manus Island and Nauru since July, 2013, would be forever banned from entering Australia under new anti-<b>refugee</b> legislation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I asked a friend who, like most young Australians is too busy trying to make ends meet, juggling jobs, to give much time to politics, what she thought of Turnbull’s use of the word “compassion”. “He’s either delusional or he’s a liar,” she said, encapsulating what I reckon many of us think about political leaders who blatantly misrepresent the truth. A year ago this same woman was enthused when Turnbull replaced Abbott, optimistic of a renewed liberalism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since John Howard’s dehumanisation of the Tampa refugees for political reasons in 2001, every Australian government has shown a lack of moral integrity and humanity, and a willingness to subvert human rights and justice, including habeas corpus, in a grab for power.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One event overlooked in the context of Turnbull’s grotesque misuse of the word “compassion”, was the public release of a letter to the Government from more than 500 Australian doctors in October that states in part: “We are very concerned about Australia’s treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers who come by <b>boat</b>, and urge you to institute more humane policies as a matter of urgency. Indefinite mandatory detention of women, men and children is harmful to their physical and mental health. According to a submission from the Royal Children’s Hospital to the <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span> National Enquiry 2014 ‘detention denies children, adolescents and families the basic environmental requirements for their health, development and their wellbeing … There is evidence that all forms of detention adversely affect parenting, family functioning and the mental health of children, adolescents, parents and families. There are considerable child protection risks …’ Severity of mental illness is related to duration of detention. Despair, self-harm, violence, physical and sexual abuse are predictable and well documented. The most recent files relating to abuse and degrading treatment on Nauru only add to the abundant evidence already available.” The Government response to the views of health professionals has been disgraceful: rejecting their submissions, and supporting provisions in the Border Force Act of two years’ jail if they spoke publicly about camp conditions. When doctors met the threat of prosecution and spoke up, the Government backed down for fear of being condemned at home and abroad. When the doctors’ legal challenge was set to reach the High Court last month, Turnbull quietly amended the Act to keep the issue from going global.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Through 2016, a plethora of evidence of inhumane treatment and casually irresponsible exposure of babies, children, women and men to harm on Nauru and Manus Island has been dismissed or ignored by the Government, including the secretly filmed documentary Seeking <b>Asylum</b> and a Four Corners program, a cache of documents made public by <span class="companylink">the Guardian</span>, as well as United Nations and <span class="companylink">Amnesty International</span> reports.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull has endorsed his minister, including Dutton’s statement that Nauru “will remain open for decades”, that babies and children in Australian hospitals would be returned to Nauru, and that “illiterate and innumerate refugees would take Australian jobs”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Perhaps the most cynical of Turnbull’s acts before announcing the ban was his and Dutton’s misleading presentation to the <span class="companylink">UN</span> in New York in September, where they claimed Australia ranked third in the <span class="companylink">OECD</span> for its intake of refugees — a claim that is false and absurd, given the huge flow of refugees from the Middle East and Africa to Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton’s claim that Nauru and Manus Island were superior to camps on the edge of Syria is idiotic, given Syria is a battleground and the <b>refugee</b> problem there involves millions, not 1000-2000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Turnbull was spruiking his Government’s humanitarianism in New York, a young Iranian girl, Mojgan Shamsalipoor, who had been in detention in Australian camps for two years, and whose story had been aired on the ABC’s Australian Story two months earlier, was released from custody and granted a temporary visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Turnbull’s statements at home and abroad about <b>asylum</b> seeker policy are laid bare in the light of his actions, there is no congruence between the rhetoric and the reality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The normalisation of deception and dishonesty by the political elite is destroying public trust in political parties and in the political system, including its institutions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The more politicians show contempt for the intelligence of citizens by lying, secrecy, obfuscation, sloganeering, dog-whistling social division along ethnic, religious and racial lines, the more the disenchantment grows.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>asylum</b> seeker issue has been the arbiter of many policy areas since 2001 in Australia, for it has been a prism through which we are asked to see our place in the world defined by the normalisation of inhumanity and social inequality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A few years ago no Australians would have thought that by the end of 2016 we would have ditched adherence to human rights conventions we agreed to after World War II and later, including the 1951 UN <b>Refugee</b> Convention, the 1989 UN Convention of the Rights of the Child and the 1975 UN Convention against Torture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A few years ago no Australians would have thought it likely they would be denied access to information about what is happening on the high seas. If the Tampa incident occurred now, we would be denied all knowledge of it. The only reliable information made public about detention centres, including refoulement and contempt for habeas corpus, is supplied by people who run the risk of prosecution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A few years ago few Australians would not have thought it likely the <span class="companylink">UN <b>refugee</b> agency</span> would write scathing reports of Australia’s inhumanity or that Australian governments, like tin-pot dictatorships, would react with similar responses to that of Tony Abbott in 2015, that “we are sick of being lectured to by the United Nations”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Naomi Klein has given us a sense of how Australia is regarded overseas, and a sense of how far we have degraded our global standing. Far from showing compassion, the Government has turned its back on a multinational regional approach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Banning <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> since 2013 sends a message to South Asia governments about Australia’s lack of interest in helping resolve a humanitarian crisis.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government has struck a deal with the United States to offer resettlement for refugees whom Australia holds on Manus Island and Nauru. While this is an agreement negotiated with the administration of Barack Obama, much of the practical implementation will only occur after the inauguration of Donald Trump in January as the next US president. That alone is reason for caution before presuming this deal will end the needless misery Australia is inflicting on refugees with its policy of offshore processing in the Pacific.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Trump has displayed a capricious attitude towards immigrants, making a base appeal to prejudice throughout the US election. At one time he proposed a ban on Muslims entering the country. Whether he will honour a commitment by his predecessor to resettle refugees on behalf of Australia - many of whom have fled from Muslim-majority nations - stands at very least as an open question.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was asked during a television interview this week whether he had faith the deal would be sustained after Mr Obama leaves the White House, he said he was "confident". We also hope for a successful resettlement for people who have languished too long. But the fate of people held on Nauru and Manus Island should not be hostage to the whim of Mr Trump. Australia's indifference to the rights of these people has already done enough damage. The Age has long maintained the simplest and speediest way to end what still remains a policy of island detention - and the practice remains detention, despite the open gates of the camps - is to bring the refugees to Australia. The government has stubbornly and mistakenly insisted that harsh treatment, in refusing people entry to Australia, is needed as a deterrent for smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It may be that the US deal presages further arrangements with other countries, including an offer from New Zealand that should have been accepted long before. Given the announcement so closely follows Australia's decision in September to accept additional refugees from Central America - many of whom have sought entry to the US - it is reasonable that some have characterised this agreement as a "people swap", much in the manner of the deal Labor sought to implement with Malaysia, although officials have said the two arrangements are not linked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet none of this should absolve Australia of what should be its moral responsibility towards <b>asylum</b> seekers. Nor should Australia seek to buy its way out of international obligations. An existing and expensive resettlement deal with Cambodia has produced little, while Australia also made a beggarly approach to Kyrgyzstan and the Philippines in an attempt to offload unwanted refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Also concerning, in the context of the US resettlement deal, is the contempt the government again displayed for transparency. Mr Turnbull has been unwilling to say how many refugees will be offered a place in the US. This needless secrecy, from the government that introduced the phrase "on-water matters" to the political lexicon, raises doubts whether it will deliver on the pledge to close the camps in the coming years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Trump is not alone in seeking to cruelly exploit the difficult challenge of migration policy in an attempt to maximise a perceived political advantage. The Coalition has proposed a lifetime ban from Australia for any person who fled to the country by <b>boat</b>, regardless of whether they are later judged to have had a genuine fear of persecution. To introduce such a ban at this time, when the government's desire for third-country settlement for refugees has been long held, is yet another attempt to look strong by punishing the weak.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's a circuit-breaker, but penalising caveats temper the government's proposal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian government has announced a new deal, long expected in policy circles, that will see <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru and Manus Island transferred to the US.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is the first positive news in three years for <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees on Nauru and Manus Island. It is a circuit breaker that has received support from Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, this could only be considered a good deal in a world where developed countries have a strong aversion to receiving <b>asylum</b> seeker claims at their borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In September, Australia pledged to take a group of Central American refugees in camps in Costa Rica.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a rational world, Central Americans on the border of the US would be settled in the US and Afghans, Iraqis, Iranians and Sri Lankans placed on Nauru and Manus by the Australian government should be resettled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, by any measure, the refugees involved would see the US deal as far better than spending any more time in Australia's offshore detention centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b> seekers don't have the luxury of choosing where they end up. There is no right to <b>asylum</b> in international law - only the opportunity to make an <b>asylum</b> claim. Receiving countries are free to make deals with other countries to resettle <b>asylum</b> seekers, constrained only by the principle of non-refoulement (which means not returning refugees to countries where they are likely to face harm).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The US has the largest <b>refugee</b> resettlement program in the world. It offers the opportunity to establish a new life free from violence and religious persecution. Yes, there is talk of intolerance faced by Muslims in the US, but similar attitudes exist in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The US offers these refugees the protection of a sophisticated constitutional and legal system. It's a gross exaggeration to suggest Donald Trump's America could be anywhere near as unsafe as the conditions that refugees flee.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While welcoming the government's announcement, Labor has criticised the time it took to reach this deal. But it is important to recognise why the government has been in no hurry to find a durable solution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has subscribed to the principle of "no advantage" first articulated in 2012. The principle states <b>asylum</b> seekers should receive no advantage from taking a <b>boat</b> to Australia over those who did not make that journey.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>, resettlement needs in 2017 are projected to be 1.19 million people. In 2015, the total number of resettlement places offered around the world was 134,000. Based on these figures, the average waiting time for resettlement is in the range of nine years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The point of offshore detention and processing was to send a strong message it was not worth taking a <b>boat</b> to Australia. The government was happy to pursue, in a half-hearted and expensive way, resettlement options in Cambodia, PNG and Nauru. These were not viewed as attractive resettlement options.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the condition of <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees on Nauru and Manus under Australia's care soon became an international embarrassment. With whistleblowers, journalists, doctors, civil society organisations in Australia, international NGOs and the government's own <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span> keeping the spotlight on conditions on Manus and Nauru, the government eventually had to find a durable solution for <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government remains concerned that finding a durable solution for refugees on Nauru may be an encouragement for people smugglers. This is an understandable fear, but recent history suggests it is most unlikely to lead to a resumption of boats heading for Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From 2002 to 2004, the Howard government resettled refugees on Nauru in Australia, and this did not lead to a resumption of <b>boat</b> arrivals. The threat of offshore detention is an enormous disincentive. Furthermore, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has been very clear the US arrangement is a one-off deal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The announcement that refugees must accept any resettlement option presented or face 20 years on Nauru or return to their country of origin where they fled persecution may be reasonable if a durable resettlement option is offered, such as is the case under the US deal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But if a different iteration of this deal ever emerges and resettlement is to a country that is not a signatory to the <b>Refugee</b> Convention or does not have the capacity to resettle and integrate refugees (such as Cambodia), this amounts to pressuring refugees to return to a place of danger or live in limbo.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The US deal is not contingent on legislation before Parliament for a lifetime ban on any people processed on Nauru and Manus since mid-2013 entering Australia. This is important as the ban is wrongly conceived, and has rightly been rejected by Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The effect of this bill is to punish for life an extremely vulnerable group of refugees, simply for the legitimate act of seeking protection and, in some cases, seeking reunification with family members.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Although it is possible for people in this position to apply to the minister to lift the ban, this may well turn out to be costly, time-consuming and complicated.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesia has warned that an agreement that could see hundreds of <b>asylum</b>-seekers currently detained in Nauru and Manus Island resettled in the US will be a “breath of fresh air for people-smugglers”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesia’s senior police commissioner for human, child and sex trafficking, Sulistiono, told The Australian he was concerned that Malcolm Turnbull’s resettlement deal would give fresh impetus to people-smugglers look­ing to revive their trade in <b>asylum</b>-seeker movements.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is a breath of fresh air for people-smugglers, but my guess is the smugglers and the <b>asylum</b>-seekers will monitor how the resettlement deal plays out,” Mr Sulistiono said yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is impossible to guess what they are about to do. We don’t know who they (the smugglers) are and the <b>asylum</b>-seekers never meet their contacts in person. These <b>asylum</b>-seekers are waiting to be contacted by the smugglers.” The Indonesian warning is certain to heighten the Australian dispute over a “lifetime ban” on <b>asylum</b>-seekers who try to come to Australia by <b>boat</b>, as the Prime Minister insists on the need for the new measure to deter another wave of arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull accused Bill Shorten of abandoning the national interest last week by voting against the bill to enforce the ban, as the government warns that there are 14,000 people in Indonesia now ready to get on boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If Bill Shorten and Labor need an excuse to correct their mistake, this resettlement deal provides the opportunity,” Mr Turnbull told The Australian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Now more than ever, Mr Shorten should show the strength to stand united with the government in the national interest before his vacillation becomes used as a marketing ploy by the people-smugglers as they seek to restart their evil and deadly trade.” The Opposition Leader insisted yesterday the government had failed to make the case for the lifetime ban but appeared to moderate Labor’s criticisms compared with immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann, who attacked the “unnecessary and ludicrous” ban. “Our best information is that the Americans are not putting on the table a requirement that you have this sort of lifetime visa ban. Now if the government’s got evidence to the contrary, we’ll sit down and look at it,” Mr Shorten said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The federal government has admitted its US deal could give people-smugglers a “marketing oppor­tunity” but has vowed to use a naval “ring of steel” to turn back boats, while trying to legislate the lifetime ban to deter arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The US deal is also subject to huge uncertainty ahead of the inauguration of Donald Trump as US president on January 20, with a new administration that could mandate his election pledge to ban Muslim immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull declared the resettlement would continue when asked last night whether Mr Trump could halt the agreement. “I’m confident that the arrangements we’ve set in place will continue,” he told ABC’s 7.30 program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Sulistiono said Indonesia already took numerous steps to prevent and intercept <b>asylum</b> boats heading to Australia, including warning <b>refugee</b> communities of the dangers involved in the <b>boat</b> journey and monitoring known <b>asylum</b>-seeker communities. It worked with local coastal communities to monitor group movements, a “red flag” that a <b>boat</b> departure could be imminent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s a cat-and-mouse game. They (smugglers) are adapting and could be using exit points we never anticipated before,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The likely scenario is they will attempt to reach Christmas Island, which is why we are monitoring the waters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But the weather is unfavourable so, again, I think the smugglers and the <b>asylum</b>-seekers will wait and see how the resettlement deal works out.” A spokesman for Indonesia’s immigration directorate-general yesterday said Jakarta had not received warning from Australia about a possible imminent surge in <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats departing Indonesia.“We are aware of the situation and will monitor the development. Right now we are not doing anything special about it. Even without the resettlement deal, illegal immigrants using Indonesia as a transit point have been intercepted,” he said.</p>

Malcolm Turnbull's "ring of steel" <b>asylum</b> seeker arrangements designed to buttress his new US resettlement deal could be weakened by Labor, Greens and crossbench opposition to a proposed lifetime visa ban on post-2013 <b>boat</b> arrivals. The Prime Minister warned that Labor "vacillation" would quickly become a marketing opportunity for people smugglers eager to convince desperate <b>asylum</b> seekers that the resettlement of the Manus Island and Nauru refugees represents a lowering of Australian resolve. With the Nick Xenophon Team</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">and others also likely to vote against the visa ban, crossbench uncertainty adds to the raft of unknowns about the separate US transfer agreement, including suggestions it will be swiftly vetoed by the incoming Trump administration.The resettlement of offshore detainees in the US has been welcomed by all sides of politics, but the Prime Minister's hopes of imposing an Australian lifetime visa ban on any of those refugees ever returning looks like going down. Mr Turnbull and Immigration and Border Protection Minister Peter Dutton say the visa ban is crucial as a statement of intent as they turn up the heat on Labor. Labor voted against the legislation in the lower house, despite claiming it is otherwise on a "unity ticket" with the Coalition on border protection. "Last week Bill Shorten abandoned the national interest when he voted against the legislation to strengthen the integrity of our nation's borders," Mr Turnbull said. "If Bill Shorten and Labor need an excuse to correct their mistake, this resettlement deal provides the opportunity. "Now more than ever Mr Shorten should show the strength to stand united with the government in the national interest before his vacillation becomes used as a marketing ploy by the people smugglers as they seek to restart their evil and deadly trade." While not a condition of the US</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">deal as the government originally foreshadowed, the ban is a deliberately harsh and inflexible statement calculated to dispel any hope of those in offshore detention ever getting to Australia. The government remains upbeat about its agreement to resettle the 1600 refugees housed in Manus and Nauru holding up despite the change of presidents in the US. Mr Turnbull admitted he had not raised the controversial agreement with President-elect Donald Trump in their post-election telephone discussion. "Well, because we deal with one administration at a time," he told Nine's Today show. "And you don't discuss confidential matters with</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">one administration with a future administration. Look, it's fairly straightforward, because we deal with one president at a time." Washington has not provided any further details of the deal, but after a brutal US election campaign, in which "illegal" immigration was the most bitterly contested policy, Mark Krikorian, executive director of the influential Centre for Immigration Studies, predicted a "firestorm" of opposition from anti-immigration activists. "This is the kind of thing the Trump administration will nix on day one," he said. "It's so difficult to justify. "I don't expect any Republicans will defend it. I can't see a lot of Democrats defending it either."</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a surprise deal, some of the 1200 illegal <b>asylum</b> seekers being detained at Manus Island and on Nauru with no hope of reaching Australia are to be transferred to the United States in exchange for refugees currently in Costa Rica. It could be a welcome start to clearing up a human and policy saga that has dragged on for a decade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The worldwide <b>refugee</b> population is now 20 million. Migration of all types from war victims, to guest workers, and wealthy expats is now 41 per cent higher than in 2001. The world is on the move. Globalisation means free movement of goods, capital and people, but it is people which are the most controversial and politically explosive.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Illegal immigration powered Donald Trump to the White House. More than anything it was 11 million undocumented migrants which convinced his supporters that their country was no longer working properly. In Europe, refugees and economic migrants arriving from the Middle East and Africa - and German Chancellor Angela Merkel's generous but ill-judged move to accept so many at once last year - are destabilising the continent's politics, driving it into the arms of unscrupulous right-wing populists. In Britain, the perceived loss of control over national borders was behind the shock vote to leave the <span class="companylink">European Union</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For workers already on the edge economically, fear of being estranged in their own country - real or imagined - by mass migration of people away from wars and failed economies on other continents, with no end in sight, is a powerful force reshaping politics. These political disasters are well understood here. Australia is a highly successful society of migrants. It keeps control of a high rate of legal immigration from behind secure borders, while reaping the benefits of economic growth that migration brings with it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Rudd and Gillard governments' loss of control of illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals between 2007 and 2013 threatened that social contract with Australians over migration. Not to mention putting thousands of lives at risk, encouraging a criminal people smuggling industry, and poisoning relations with our neighbours. The region collectively failed to find a way of handling <b>refugee</b> arrivals, but then so has developed Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Manus Island and Nauru are undoubtedly part of a tough solution. They have allowed activists to ramp up their campaign to bring would-be illegal <b>asylum</b> seekers on to Australian soil. Closing the sites off to the media has only fuelled suspicion of what goes on there. But firm policy has stopped a deadly trade in people. The camps have shown that the way to Australia is closed, and they are part of the maintaining of trust in the immigration system that allows it to continue - most of all, with one of the highest legal intakes of <b>asylum</b> seekers in the world. Our relative remoteness also allows us to do this. While we might scoff at Donald Trump's wall, the US is dealing with a porous land border and undocumented workers, after adjusting for population size, running at about 13 times the rate of visa over-stayers in Australia for example.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet population growth has been a mainstay of the Australian economy, which has skewed its immigration policy towards skilled workers for the past few decades. The stubborn idea that there are only so many jobs to go around, and immigrants take them, is nonsense, but on talkback radio it tarnishes illegal and legal newcomer alike. Migrants in the long run create more jobs than they take, just as the arrival of working mothers in the labour force did in the 1970s. That is just economics. The 457 visas which Bill Shorten is now cynically denouncing so he can ride on Mr Trump's coat-tails are particularly beneficial; they bring in temporary workers at the most productive point in their lives, after governments elsewhere have paid for their education. They are assets to us, not a burden, and the conflation of the two is wrong.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said on Monday that the legislation, which would ban those who arrived by <b>boat</b> after July 2013 from ever settling in Australia or visiting on a visa, was crucial over the next few months as authorities braced for a wave of boats in the wake of the <b>refugee</b> deal with the United States.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has put in place "a ring of steel", consisting a record number of ships and planes to turn back boats but believes the legislation is needed as an added deterrent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Labor supports a lifetime resettlement ban, is believes banning someone from visiting in decades from now is "ludicrous".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said it was the short-term signal sent by the legislation that mattered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The problem that we've got . . . is here and now with <b>boat</b> arrivals over the next three or four weeks or three or four months," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If we have new <b>boat</b> arrivals then, that jeopardises any arrangement we've got with any third country and that's why the legislation is even more compelling this week than it was even last week."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said Mr Shorten's pledge that Labor and the government were on a "unity ticket" regarding people smugglers was hollow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If there's any meaning to it then he has to support this legislation because he worries about people coming in 30 or 40 years' time on a tourist visa," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We'll deal with that issue then or deal with the issue when they get into government and repeal the legislation."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the deal with Washington, the United States will assess each of the 1600 refugees on Nauru and Manus Island before resettling them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About another 800 found not to be refugees will be urged to go home. Any <b>refugee</b> who knocks back the offer will be offered a 20-year visa to stay on Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten said if the government had evidence the deal with the US was contingent on the legislation then Labor would reconsider. "What I promise Australians is I won't be like Tony Abbott and the Liberals and the Green political party in the last Labor government where they blocked the Malaysia solution," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The lifetime ban legislation passed the House of Representatives last week and the government wants it through the Senate by the end of the final siting fortnight which begins Monday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The deal was crunched following talks between Mr Turnbull and US President Barack Obama in January. The government is cautiously optimistic that now that it has been announced and implemented, it will not be scuttled by the Trump administration which takes office in January.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull did not raise the issue with President-elect Donald Trump when they spoke last week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We deal with one administration at a time. You don't discuss confidential matters with one administration with a future administration," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull said the common interest would see the policy survive US administrations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Our two nations...have had a long co-operation on matters of this kind which have enabled us to pursue and support our mutual and respective humanitarian and indeed national security objectives."</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After weeks of speculation, sparked by Australia's commitment to accept South American refugees from a Costa Rica processing centre, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull confirmed he had entered into an agreement with the Obama administration to accept refugees languishing on Manus Island and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the deal's future under Donald Trump's administration remains uncertain, with Mr Turnbull only saying "we deal with one administration at a time". During the presidential campaign, President-elect Trump proposed banning all Muslim immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There is only one President of the United States at a time," Mr Turnbull said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"These arrangements have had a long run-up. The agreement was reached some time ago. There is a great deal of preparation and planning that has gone into it and, indeed, in leading up to this announcement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We have a very long history of cooperation with the United States in matters of this kind. Where we pursue, as we are today, our mutual and respective objectives in the humanitarian field."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But details on how the deal will work were scant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton could not say how many of the 1800 detainees across the two regional processing centres and those currently receiving medical care in Australia, would be accepted under the deal, or give a timeline of how the deal will unfold.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Women, children and families will be given priority, which leaves the men on Manus Island still facing uncertainty, with the United States to assess all referrals from the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> to decide who is resettled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull said American Homeland Security officials were due to arrive in Australia "in the next few days" to begin the process, but would not give any details beyond it being "an orderly transition".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Speaking to Sky News, Liberal MP Andrew Laming said the final number of refugees to be included in the deal "is not yet decided", but he thought it would be in place before Mr Trump takes his presidential oath.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Obviously these arrangements are under the current Democrat regime until the 20th of January, I think things will be moving within that time," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Transfers are expected to take months and will not be completed by the time Mr Trump takes office. The United States is also known for its rigorous security clearance process, which is stricter than many countries, including Australia, raising the possibility some refugees could be resettled in other countries, potentially including Canada, Malaysia, the Philippines and New Zealand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But one point the government was clear on, was the military operation launched in anticipation of people smugglers using the US deal as a "marketing opportunity".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Additional border protection, navy and air force operations have already been deployed in what Mr Turnbull labelled "the largest and most capable maritime surveillance and response fleet Australia has ever deployed".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In what the Prime Minister's office confirmed was the biggest maritime operation since World War II, the men in charge of Australia's border security lined up behind Mr Turnbull and Mr Dutton to reinforce the government's message to people smugglers and those thinking of risking using them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"To the people smugglers, my message is simple: we have re-enforced our offshore law enforcement and intelligence cooperation and we have deployed more ships and more aircraft. We will not let you restart your illicit trade," Major General Andrew Bottrell, the commander of Operation Sovereign Borders said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Your boats will be intercepted and they will be returned safely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"For those people who would be taken advantage of by people smugglers who want to make money from them, I would implore you do not believe the lies of people smugglers and do not risk your life by getting onto unsafe boats. "People smugglers are only interested in making money out of you.'</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government is also finalising a 20-year visa for Nauru for those who refuse resettlement, with Mr Turnbull remaining resolute that settlement in Australia is not an option.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those who have had their applications for <b>refugee</b> status rejected will be given a choice on remaining in a regional processing centre, with the facility on Nauru to remain open, accept the Cambodia resettlement option, or return home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has not made supporting its controversial lifetime visa ban on <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> from 2013 onwards part of the deal, freeing Labor, which had previously opposed the lifetime ban policy, to announce its cautious support for the US agreement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said it would be "hypocritical" not to support the resettlement deal, as it was "the very thing we wanted with the Malaysia solution some years ago".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We will certainly, in principle, work with the Government subject to seeing the detail, we do welcome this," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We want to see people moved out of these facilities. Labor's commitment to regional resettlement is based on, one, stopping the people smugglers and their cruel and evil trade and, two, making sure that we don't have people stuck in indefinite detention in facilities which Australia has indirect responsibility for." The <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> has welcomed the deal, but stressed it was not "a party to it".</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Donald Trump presidency has changed the world, from undermining Barack Obama's legacy to thumping the NSW Nationals in the Orange byelection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now Mr Trump looms as the key obstacle to a long-awaited and much-needed positive development in Australia's <b>refugee</b> program. The Turnbull government has struck a deal to resettle in the US up to 1800 refugees held on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Had Hillary Clinton triumphed in the US presidential election last week, this deal would be hailed as a win-win.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While details are scant and timing uncertain, the potential is there for the Manus Island detention centre in Papua New Guinea to be closed, as that nation's Supreme Court has demanded. The chances are that Australia will also strike a deal with Nauru for 20-year visas for those who decline US resettlement or are not deemed refugees. Hope is high that <b>refugee</b> children will never be in Australian-overseen detention again. And Labor is likely to back the plan, meaning the High Court here will be less of a threat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The agreement might even involve a people swap from US-overseen <b>refugee</b> camps in Costa Rica which were established to deter <b>asylum</b> seekers and illegal migrants from trying to enter the US through unofficial channels. In effect Australia would be swapping South American land people for Middle Eastern and Asian <b>boat</b> people, with little change in the total <b>refugee</b> intake for both countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How ironic, though, that Mr Trump holds in his hands the fate of many central American migrants and Muslim refugees. Given his harsh rhetoric against both, the US-Australia deal must be on shaky ground. Indeed, even if Mr Trump accepted the Obama-Turnbull deal, any raising of the security checks on refugees entering the US might mean far fewer were resettled. The process will be extended and vexed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Still, the Herald has called for such resettlement deals under the auspices of the United Nations. Resettlement is as important to a deterrent <b>refugee</b> policy as humane conditions in - and independent scrutiny of - offshore centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How ironic, though, that the Coalition has struck this deal when under Tony Abbott it opposed Labor's agreements with Malaysia in 2011 and subsequently expressed regret for doing so. Under the Turnbull government deal, the refugees will be resettled in a country far more inviting than Malaysia. But we believe well-designed deterrent measures of the sort the government has flagged for this deal can minimise the risk of people smugglers using it to sell Australia to <b>boat</b> people as a stepping stone to resettlement in the West.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is easy to see the people smugglers' message: "<b>Boat</b> people under Australian control hit the jackpot with US residency!" No wonder Mr Turnbull stressed many times on Sunday that this was a one-off deal with the US and no future arrivals would benefit. Realistically, some future deals might be struck - in fact they will be needed if more <b>boat</b> people arrive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And the more one-offs are struck, the more it looks like an incentive for people smugglers to tell <b>boat</b> people to take a chance and wait it out until the next deal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As such the government needs to keep sending the deterrent message and ensuring sea patrols are effective.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More boats will patrol Australia's northern waters just in case. Many will argue that Australia should be letting <b>boat</b> people remain in Australia anyway. There are sound reasons to support that view.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But if the harsh policy we have is meant to save lives at sea, then it must include foolproof resettlement agreements.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The conditions of this deal do not seem to include the Turnbull government's proposed ban on any of the resettled refugees from ever entering Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ban remains important, though, because it plugs a potential crack in any resettlement plan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A deal that allows refugees to enter Australia on any visa is in effect a backdoor way for <b>boat</b> people - and as such people smugglers - to achieve their aim.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor had opposed the travel-back ban. Now the US deal has been announced, Labor is rightly indicating support overall, with the sensible caveat that detail is crucial.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The most important detail will be how Mr Trump reacts when he enters the White House in January.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the meantime, the Turnbull government should work to make the deal foolproof and seek more resettlement agreements with nations such as Canada and New Zealand.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Sunday <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun has confirmed that Australia is in talks with Nauru to offer a new 20-year visa for refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers who refuse to leave. The new visa would double the ­existing 10-year option.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Australia would walk away from providing any further assistance. Detaining an <b>asylum</b> seeker on Nauru costs an estimated $300,000 to $400,000.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The US has confirmed the breakthrough deal is not dependent on the Turnbull Government’s new legislation to ban <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b> from ever re-entering Australia, even as tourists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are in regular contact with Australia and other countries that support humanitarian organisations and accept refugees for resettlement on a number of <b>refugee</b>-related issues,’’ the State Department said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull’s office confirmed the resettlement deal did not require the lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b> seekers from ever re-entering Australia — even as tourists — to proceed.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Sunday <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun revealed the visa ban plan a fortnight ago and also reported last week that Australia was in talks with Malaysia, Indonesia, the US and the Philippines to resettle refugees.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the disaffected masses swept Donald Trump to an unlikely victory, there are signs Australian politics is being swamped by a similar wave of voter dissatisfaction, writes Dennis Atkins</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IT’S not a question of whether something like the Donald Trump “movement”, as he now calls it, can happen in Australia but rather what we can do about the same sentiments already here and making their voices heard.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Queensland we have heard it for 20 years, since Pauline Hanson 1.0 arrived first in the federal Parliament and then stormed George St.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While these political forces ebbed during the boom years of the first decade of the new century, they are now back and look like staying for an extended time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There’s no magic trick here. This is not something new.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Such populist, nativist movements have been part of the political scene since representative democracy first began to evolve.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In its modern incarnation, it has been a reaction in the main to globalisation, technological change and accompanying structural reform, and the creation of a professional political elite class, crossing parliamentarians, media, business and special interests lobbyists and the machines that bind them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What Trump’s victory in the US this week and the surging popularity of Hanson’s One Nation in Queensland shows is that a significant segment of the electorate will not cop it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The voters in the sparsely populated American Midwest and the battered deindustrialised northeastern parts of the country looked at their lives, their communities and the different world in Washington DC and defiantly raised a middle finger. The message was that they were so fed up with business as usual in the nation’s capital – the deal-making, the back scratching, insider conversations and pay for play – they’d vote for someone the establishment said was unacceptable and not up to the job.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was just the same in 1998 when One Nation stood for the Queensland Parliament.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The more the “know-all commentators” and members of the establishment rubbished Hanson and said her followers were racist or worse, the greater the support was for the nascent party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That 1998 election and the recent national poll, which resulted in two One Nation senators being elected from Queensland, were remarkable for the similarity in the way this party’s vote spread across the state.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The further from Brisbane, the higher it was with some of the most concentrated pockets of One Nation support emerging just to the west of Brisbane and immediately to the north, as well as in many towns along the coast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In both 1998 and 2016, One Nation voters were people or families for whom working with their hands was a way of life. These are the people left behind by competition policy, globalisation, automation and economic rationalism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They don’t like the present and they fear the future.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One stark metric that emerged from the US election was that a large majority of Trump voters thought America was a better place 50 years ago than it was now while those supporting Hillary Clinton thought the exact opposite.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the US election result sunk in, Australian politicians went to their corners.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Conservative Queensland Nationals MP George Christensen, mocked for his hardline views but able to maintain a robust level of support in his Mackay-based electorate, said politics as usual was in decline.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“(Trump’s win) shows people want a different style of politics,” he said. “The movement we’ve seen in the US is bound to infiltrate Australian politics. I think it already has.” Liberal backbencher, and former Abbott government minister, Eric Abetz, saw a message for all Australian political parties.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That message is that you have to stay true to your beliefs – especially for the centre-right parties,” Senator Abetz said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I don’t want to call it a movement, but there is a sentiment I sense that people do want to get back control. And I get a sense that they will take the fight up here if their elected representatives are not taking notice of them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I personally think there is a fairly strong sentiment against political correctness.” Hanson took a bottle of champagne to the Parliament’s forecourt and toasted Trump’s win, saying people wanted democracy back.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I can see in Donald Trump a lot of me and what I stand for in Australia,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who started the week criticised for adopting One Nation-like <b>refugee</b> policies by proposing to deny any aspiring <b>asylum</b> seeker arriving by <b>boat</b> an entry visa under any circumstances, was polite and respectful to Trump and congratulated him on his victory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Privately, Liberal MPs worry the victory of Trump will energise the conservative right of their party, the Nationals and One Nation, placing pressure on Turnbull’s hold of the middle ground.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Queenslanders are terrified of what One Nation might do at the next state election, running scared from anything coming out of Canberra that might feed the beast,” one LNP strategist said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opposition Leader Bill Shorten wants Labor to tap into the kind of disaffection Trump saw and mobilised and he’s used recent opportunities to do so.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a speech last month he spoke of those left behind. “We must recognise the mantras of innovation and disruption can be a confronting message for Australians in insecure work,” Shorten said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We need to understand that when a lot of Australians hear the word automation, they think redundancy.” It’s clear Australian politicians understand the sentiments that moved so many Americans to vote for Trump.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He grasps the mood but bungles the message</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten showed four weeks ago he had a good fix on the forces being unleashed in the startling rise of Donald Trump. He used a speech on the “state of the nation” to pinpoint the frustration of workers being “discarded and left behind” by a political class that was constantly promoting change without looking after those who bore the cost.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We must recognise the mantras of innovation and disruption can be a confronting message for Australians in insecure work,” the Opposition Leader said. “We need to understand that when a lot of Australians hear the word automation they think redundancy.” Malcolm Turnbull also has talked of this “mood of disaffection” — after all, it nearly cost him the election — but Shorten has a former union leader’s grasp of the frustration among blue-collar workers. His speech on October 11 to the Committee for Economic Development of Australia seemed to catch him thinking aloud about how this anger would shape the next election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten underestimated the Trump campaign, claiming in the speech the possibility of a Trump administration was fading. He was hardly alone in that. Now the power of the popular uprising is clear and Shorten is aware of its Australian parallels. What he needs is a way to harness this power to his own ends. What he lacks is a platform to do so.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten is the challenger in Australian politics, the complainer-in-chief who could ride a popular backlash to victory. Yet his political judgment was faulty this week. He made a series of bad calls on border protection, superannuation and the backpacker tax. He got off relatively lightly, thanks to a team that is so adept at managing the 24/7 media cycle, but the decisions were flawed all the same.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s position on the backpacker tax saw Shorten leap through a window of opportunity to tackle the government. The odd thing is that he did so by endorsing a tax proposal from Tasmanian independent Jacqui Lambie. Rather than accept the government’s compromise of a 19 per cent income tax on holiday-makers from overseas who gain a temporary right to work in Australia, Shorten and Lambie are pushing for 10.5 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Who is Labor fighting for here? It may claim to help farmers by offering a lower tax rate for casual foreign workers, but there is no data showing a 10.5 per cent tax will lead to a surge of workers to solve labour shortages on farms. Labor debunks the government’s argument that foreigners will pay less tax than Australians but Shorten looks as if he is on a crusade for the wrong workers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition has stumbled for more than a year on the backpacker tax and Shorten cannot resist exploiting the weakness. Yet he shows a poor choice of priorities. He is telling voters he is willing to block a $500 million gain to the budget bottom line in the name of helping foreign backpackers while he opposes other budget measures that cost less and help Australian workers more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Barnaby Joyce accuses Shorten of abandoning local workers. Scott Morrison says Shorten should look after Australians rather than Swedish backpackers. The Nationals feel voters will see through the Labor tax cut for backpackers when they feel there are plenty of unemployed younger Australians who should be more eager to work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten is more vulnerable on the backpacker tax because of another decision this week. He and opposition Treasury spokesman Chris Bowen cleared a policy through shadow cabinet and the caucus to oppose two government concessions that help people put more into their retirement savings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One helps women make “catch-up contributions” to superannuation after returning to work from looking after children. Another helps small-business owners get a tax deduction on their contributions, matching the incentives enjoyed by salaried workers. Revenue and Financial Services Minister Kelly O’Dwyer called this out, saying Labor wanted to tax foreign workers less while making things harder for women returning to work. Yet the catch-up contributions cost only $100m across four years. Labor claims this as unaffordable while fighting to give up some of the $500m in revenue from backpackers. The priorities are all wrong.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor has a problem, too, over the fact it went to the election with one policy on super, then emerged four months later with another. It pledged before the election it would raise “the same amount of money” as the government’s super package while it attacked the “retrospectivity” of the policy. It booked a $3 billion revenue gain by matching the Coalition. Now it raises $4.5bn instead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has changed policy by abandoning its $500,000 lifetime cap on post-tax contributions since the election, but its overall package still raises about $3bn. The Labor policy has changed by $1.5bn.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor played the politics of super brilliantly. It denounced the tax increase while embracing it and then expanding it. It said one thing but did another while trying to slip through a tax increase without being called out. This is the “politics as usual” that people despise.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten faced a difficult call on <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy given he must keep the Labor Left happy to shore up his leadership, knowing he does not hold a majority of branch members. Yet his decision to oppose the government’s lifetime ban was a huge political risk. The ban acts on Labor’s own rhetoric from the past three years but Shorten recoils from legislating it. It looks like a lack of resolve.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Shorten says <b>asylum</b>-seekers cannot settle here if they come by <b>boat</b>, why is he unwilling to make that law? There is no point in sending mixed messages. If Shorten seeks the reins of power he must be willing to hold them. Labor’s divisions are obvious, but so are the lessons of its previous time in power: 51,637 <b>asylum</b>-seeker arrivals by <b>boat</b> across five years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Who will master the forces being unleashed? Turnbull acknowledged yesterday that one of the lessons of Trump’s victory was the anxiety of voters being left behind. Shorten knows this, too. Which of them will tap into this raw energy?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy and welfare reform, Turnbull may have a way to marshall this anger without the misogyny and racism that were the most repugnant aspects of Trump’s ascent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By contrast, Shorten made the wrong calls this week on <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy, the backpacker tax and super.As any swimmer knows, you can see a wave coming and still get dumped.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In what is shaping as the first test of unity for Senator Xenophon’s bloc of three senators, the government is hoping to secure support from the minor party to pass the new lifetime visa ban in the face of opposition from Labor and the Greens.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Declaring the issue a matter of conscience, Senator Xenophon said that he would consider supporting the laws if Australia ­increased its intake of humanitarian refugees, as the government did in 2014 when negotiating crossbench support for temporary protection visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In my view Australia is a big country with a big heart, I would like to see an even bigger increase in our humanitarian intake,” he told ABC radio. However, he said his team might split over the issue.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor has said it will oppose the ban, saying it is not necessary to continue to deter people-­smugglers.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government has proposed a bill to permanently ban refugees from Australia who sought to enter Australia without a visa from mid-2013. Critics have noted that the bill is harsh, excessive and would ban refugees happily resettled in other countries from ever visiting Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government claims that the bill is consistent with international law. We strongly disagree. The bill would illegally punish refugees for entering Australia by <b>boat</b>. It would also illegally deny refugees their right to reunite with close family.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Article 31(1) of the <b>Refugee</b> Convention requires Australia not to "impose penalties, on account of ... illegal entry" to Australia by refugees who have come "directly" from a place of persecution, as long as they "present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Based on the prevailing legal authorities, the bill's proposed lifetime ban would violate this provision. First, a "penalty" is not limited to criminal sanctions but includes any serious unfavourable treatment. The proposed ban on entering Australia is punitive in this sense.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, the ban would only apply to refugees who sought to enter Australia "illegally" under Australia's immigration law. It would not apply to refugees who entered "legally" on any visa, including under Australia's <b>refugee</b> resettlement program. As such, the penalty would be imposed "on account of" illegal entry. The provision prohibits punishing such refugees, everyone has the right to seek <b>asylum</b> under international law - with or without a visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Third, while the provision applies to refugees "coming directly" from persecution, this does not mean that refugees are only protected from punishment if they travel immediately to Australia from their home country. Rather, the protection still applies to refugees who transit through other countries on their way to Australia, where those other countries do not offer effective, safe legal and practical protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The reasons for this are obvious. Refugees cannot be expected to stay in a transit country that does not recognise <b>refugee</b> status or the <b>Refugee</b> Convention, and in which they are classed as "illegal" migrants and remain vulnerable to expulsion or persecution at any time. This includes transit countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">International law does not require refugees to remain in the first country they reach if it is not safe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the British courts have confirmed, even a protracted delay in an unsafe transit country is permissible if the <b>refugee</b> was trying to obtain the means to travel onwards. The bill joins a long list of other illegal measures adopted by the Australian Parliament that penalise refugees who arrive "illegally". Disgracefully, punishing refugees has become second nature in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The bill would also violate Australia's human rights obligations to protect families and children. The world's governments have agreed that "the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state". The protection requires governments to allow close family members to live together.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Where refugees already have close family here, a permanent ban on other family members from coming to live here would flagrantly violate international law. Australian law would ensure that families remain broken up, and that parents are separated from children. The bill's ban would not apply to children - but would exile their parents.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The bill would give a discretionary power to the Immigration Minister to lift the ban in individual cases as he sees fit. This is woefully inadequate. Family reunion must be legally enforceable, not reliant on the grace of a politician. We know from bitter experience that Australia has often ignored United Nations findings that Australia has violated family rights. Discretion would be subordinate to the political agenda to "deter" refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is a cruel, punitive bill that may separate some families forever. Donald Trump was pilloried for proposing a temporary ban on Muslims and for building a wall against Mexicans. Malcolm Turnbull is proposing a permanent ban on refugees of any race, and is strengthening a naval and legal wall against refugees that Trump could only dream of.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the early 1980s, a senior doctor at Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital, on sabbatical leave in the US, reported to his colleagues that a new disease was having devastating effects within the homosexual community. He urged Fairfield staff to build links with the homosexual community in Melbourne to alert them to the threat and prepare a response.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fairfield was a hospital where staff in different disciplines readily consulted with each other, and Jan Watson, the social worker, was quickly involved in establishing the links. She used her connections to set up a crucial meeting, accompanied by Dr Anne Mijch, with an influential group of gay men.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jan played a major role in establishing the practice of ongoing cooperation involving medical and other staff as well as community members in meeting the challenge of HIV/AIDS in Victoria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As well as responding directly to the patients themselves and to distraught parents and partners, Jan was active in dealing with fear about this new disease. Its means of transmission were poorly understood and it was already seen as a potential threat to the wider community. For example, some funeral companies were unwilling to handle the bodies of those who had died from an AIDS-related illness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In looking for sources of spiritual support for AIDS sufferers, Jan and colleagues were disappointed when going to church authorities, and had the best response when turning to religious orders. Sisters Hilda and Greta were two of those who committed themselves to the care of those in need.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a married Catholic mother of four, Jan seemed to be the best person to try to educate often-conservative sections of the Catholic Church about the situation. This meant a swift development of public-speaking skills.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jan responded to the need for information with the production of A Guide Through the Maze, a summary of practical advice on welfare and care options. (Michael Leunig generously allowed the use of one of his drawings on the cover.) She published several relevant articles in professional journals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She helped home-care teams across the state to care for isolated patients and facilitated support groups for parents.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Women affected by the disease soon appeared at Fairfield and Jan helped them set up their own groups. On some Saturdays a shopping trip to the market was followed by a hasty return to the hospital to assist a men's group, run an education seminar or respond to a care crisis. This was very wearing, especially as extra staffing was only reluctantly provided.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually, there was a small social work department and Jan's leadership abilities were shown in new ways. One former member commented recently on Jan's ability to teach her colleagues how to get things done in the face of obstructions from those not driven by the same concerns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jan Watson (then McCormack) was born in Surrey Hills, the fourth of five children. Her father Bill worked with the tramways. She studied at the <span class="companylink">University of Melbourne</span>, graduating in 1964 with a BA and Diploma of Social Studies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her first job was with the Repatriation Hospital, working with Elizabeth Marshall, a mentor whom she greatly admired. In 1965, she married and accompanied her husband Chris to Vancouver.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back in Melbourne in 1969, Jan worked with the Children's Protection Society, a difficult position aggravated by difficulties with management over the professional independence of its workers. In the mid-1970s, time in County Durham in England brought more interruptions to her professional work. By this time she had four children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually she was appointed head of social work at the Fairfield hospital. She worked with people afflicted by other diseases as well as HIV/AIDS. She often spoke of the strength and fortitude of polio patients in iron lungs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the early 1990s, Fairfield's existence was threatened and Jan took a leading part in the battle to save the hospital, showing her advocacy, communication skills and commitment to a just outcome. When the fight was lost, she comforted those devastated by the closure, while feeling it so deeply herself she decided she would not return to hospital social work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She was appointed to <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span>, but felt constricted by regulations that made it hard to show compassion. A few years with the Vietnam Veterans Counselling Service was a potentially awkward position for somebody who had demonstrated against the Vietnam War, but she established a good rapport with group members. What she now saw of the subsequent damage to veterans and their families reinforced her views that Australia should have had no part in it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the post-Fairfield years, Jan completed her training for conducting the Progoff Intensive Journal Workshops, a method of journalling that she found very helpful, and which she was committed to sharing with anybody interested.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A few weeks before her cancer diagnosis, Jan was demonstrating (on a 36-degree day) in Ivanhoe East with the Grandmothers against the Detention of <b>Refugee</b> Children, having also organised local media coverage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Life was not only about public causes. Jan enjoyed walking by the Darebin Creek and Yarra River. Since 1994, she put considerable time and energy into the restoration of a small property south of Daylesford where, assisted by family members, she planted about 2000 native trees and bushes. She delighted in the birds that were attracted by the flourishing plants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jan felt a strong connection with her (mostly) Irish ancestors, and a trip to Ireland in 1994 included explorations in cemeteries as well as <b>boat</b> trip to Skellig Michael, off the Kerry coast; the ocean swell prevented landing, but she published a short article about it anyhow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With help from relatives and friends, she produced a book on the history of a branch of her mother's family going back to its Irish origins. It was launched following a visit to the Coburg Cemetery where a piper led more than a hundred descendants to family graves (some restored or labelled for the first time).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the brief period of cancer remission in 2016, she learned how to use a computer to assemble a book of photos for family members.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A piper also escorted her own hearse from St Carthage's Church in Parkville, where she had been part of a thoughtful and nurturing community that gave her a base for her own spirituality without inhibiting searches in other traditions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jan Watson is survived by her husband, four children, five grandchildren and four siblings.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After Labor resolved on Tuesday to oppose the bill, which would ban those who arrived by <b>boat</b> after July 2013 from ever settling in Australia or visiting, the government turned to the crossbench.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the lower house, lone NXT MP Rebekha Sharkie, whose vote has no impact, released a video statement saying she would be voting against the bill.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senator Xenophon told ABC radio that he could not guarantee the support of his two Senate colleagues, Stirling Griff and Skye Kakoschke-Moore. It would be the first time the fledging party has split on a vote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It is a conscience issue for the team and I respect that," he said. "I still haven't reached a final position. I think it's pretty touch and go as to whether this legislation goes through."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senator Xenophon said he would be demanding a corresponding increase in the annual refugees intake in return for his support.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He suggested doubling the intake, which is 13,750 places annually, but is phasing up to 18,750 by 2018-19.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government already has the four One Nation senators, assuming Rod Culleton votes, Jacqui Lambie and possibly David Leyonhjelm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If an NXT senator votes no, then the government would need Derryn Hinch's vote on the bill. If two NXT senators are opposed, then the bill will fail.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton says the passage of the laws is linked to pending deals with third countries to take the refugees who are languishing on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Parliament, the government continued to pressure Labor to back the bills.

Malcolm Turnbull has seized on Labor’s decision to oppose a lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b>-seekers, saying the move ends a unity ticket on border protection and will be a green light to people-smugglers.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After Labor MPs lined up to condemn the visa ban as ridiculous and over the top, the Prime Minister said Bill Shorten was risking complacency on border protection, which would see <b>boat</b> arrivals start again and prevent the resettlement of those in offshore detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Labor Party cannot ­escape the consequences of its failure. We have stopped the boats, we’ve stopped the drownings and we have ensured that children are not in detention, and we will continue to do that,” Mr Turnbull said. “During the election, the Leader of the Opposition said he was on a unity ticket with us in terms of border protection policies. We call on him to maintain that.” He said an “unequivocal signal” to people-smugglers was needed as the government sought resettlement options for the 2098 <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees on Manus Island and Nauru. Expectations are growing that a deal with a third country is imminent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Mr Shorten said Labor was on a “unity ticket” with the government to stop the people-smugglers, it was not on a unity ticket to “stop the tourists”.</p>

Those younger than 18 at the time they were transferred to a processing country would be exempt.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull said Mr Shorten’s comments about tourists showed he was trivialising the “sanctity” of border protection. “If (he) doesn’t have respect for the people of Australia and the security of their borders, he should at least have respect for the people that drowned when he was last a minister of the crown,” Mr Turnbull said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the laws were needed to address an immediate threat, but details would be released soon of a third-country resettlement plan that would allow the government to release Manus and Nauru detainees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the government would begin by removing families from detention, but needed support for the new law that the Labor caucus had rejected unanimously.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On a day Newspoll was less than helpful and Labor opposed the proposed lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b>-seekers, Malcolm Turnbull entered question time in a certain mood. Bill Shorten, he said crossly, was an “insult to the intelligence of the Australian people”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Furthermore, the Prime Minister warned, there were determined, agile people using social media for their nefarious deeds — though this proved to be a reference to people-smugglers rather than Kevin Rudd , whose name has been mentioned frequently and unhappily in dispatches since he stuck his oar back in.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And that’s where question time found itself, back in the possibly eternal time loop that sees the opposition and the government circling each other, inviting the public to judge which is the better/worse on borders. “(Labor) think people drowning at sea is funny,” Turnbull suggested.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And yet, amid the anger, there was a certain listlessness in government ranks, a bit of pre-Christmas torpor perhaps. Even the redoubtable Barnaby Joyce was barely running on more than his pilot flame, the man whose roar of “CAAAARP” once came close to knocking the paint off the walls now issuing little more than a soft murmur lost beneath the onslaught of Labor decibels. Anyone trying to listen had to act like a detective, piecing together the audible fragments to discover the Deputy Prime Minister was staying true to his role as the nation’s Scourge of Unauthorised Organisms, expanding the Coalition’s ambient <b>boat</b> threat to include screw fly and foot-and-mouth disease. It would have been handy to have surtitles (like the ones they run above the stage at the opera to allow audiences to know the soprano is struggling with her carnal urges towards her father’s charismatic, deep-voiced murderer).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And when Kelly O’Dwyer stood to speak, the torpor spread even to Labor. Not for the first time, Christopher Pyne rode in to fix the mood, springboarding off a heckle to get stuck into Labor’s newest senator, Kimberley Kitching. Pyne focused with a particular relish on her $6500 of unpaid parking fines. “Surely she would have noticed all those sticky clear plastic things on the windscreen of her $94,000 leased <span class="companylink">BMW</span> ,” he mused to a backdrop of brightening faces. “It seems surprising to me that she would have been able to see through her windscreen …” Arguably, an even more bravura performance was Pyne’s elevation of Kitching’s predecessor Stephen Conroy to the exalted rank of “very well-regarded senator Conroy”.That would be the same Conroy whose surname became an adjective — “Conrovian” — during Turnbull’s mocking flights of fancy. With Conroy now in the pantheon of the noble departed, Turnbull showed he was ready to move on, premiering his new adjective: “Shortenian”. It wasn’t as jolly, though.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Imagine a great big wall around Australia protecting its citizens from terrorism, foot and mouth diseases, budget blowouts, sham marriages, fake tourists, unemployed former Labor prime ministers and Papua New Guinean screw flies.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A well-constructed Trump l'oeil - yes, border protection - can also be a comfort for prime ministers and frontbenchers whose only alternative is to get slapped repeatedly by the opposition for being hopeless about everything.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Which is exactly what happened in question time on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor's Bill Shorten wanted all the attention on the extent of the Turnbull government's suspicion that former Family First senator Bob Day's election might not have been completely legit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With the same-sex marriage plebiscite defeated on Monday night and the Turnbull cabinet capitulating to their noisy conservative colleagues by allowing a parliamentary inquiry into 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, the Coalition could do only one thing: point in the opposite direction while shouting "Look over there!".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My question is to the Prime Minister. Will the PM update the House on the continuing need for strong border security and the importance of ensuring the people smuggling trade is shut down?" a Coalition backbencher asked, not-at-all spontaneously.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And so the logical response: Turnbull reminded Labor of Kevin Rudd 's latest <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> outburst about "Shortenistas", "Gillardistas" and the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd track record on <b>boat</b> arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And so it went on for the next hour and a bit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull explained people smugglers were "smart and agile" but in a kind of evil and not innovative way. A shouty Scott Morrison said people smugglers helped contribute to an $11billion blowout in the federal budget under Labor, and Barnaby Joyce explained <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats from PNG could carry pigs afflicted with foot-and-mouth and something unpleasant called "screw fly".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton revealed that six ill-advised romances between former Nauru and Manus Island detainees and centre staff was the reason for the lifetime ban because the detainees were taking Australia's $7000 "encouragement" to return to Iran, and then returning to Australia to reunite with their guards-turned-fiances.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There's an emerging theory among Australian economists that Melbourne Cup day marks the start of the decline in workplace productivity as the nation starts counting down to Christmas.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten insisted Labor continued to remain on a unity ticket with the government to stop the boats but did not want to see refugees blocked from getting visas years down the track.</p>

Is that how the Labor Party regards people smuggling? Is that how they ­regard the lives of thousands of people put at risk by some of the most evil criminals in the world?” Despite Labor blocking the changes the government remains confident the crossbench will support the ban. One Nation and Jacqui Lambie are believed to be supportive of the push while Nick Xenophon is considering his position.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said, while the boats had stopped, the threat remained high.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But the Government is not making that case here. They’re saying they’ve got this legislation, they haven’t explained what the problem is they are trying to solve.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The idea that a citizen of the US or Canada or New Zealand faces a lifetime ban preventing them from visiting Australia in 30 or 40 years time is simply unacceptable to me and my Labor colleagues.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said people smugglers had not gone away and a firm message was needed to counter advocates telling <b>asylum</b> seekers not to negotiate returning home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said that on top of the 14,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers waiting in Indonesia, there were thousands more in Europe who might attempt to make it to Australia. “Let me promise you that if they think the door to Europe is closed, or it is more difficult to get in, then they will trek in their tens or hundreds of thousands through Indonesia to get here,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An Essential poll found there was support for the Government’s proposed lifetime ban, with 56 per cent of respondents approving of the plan and 29 per cent opposing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most Labor voters supported the plan (52 per cent), according to the poll, compared with 38 per cent who disapproved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Coalition voters were more strongly in favour — 76 per cent compared with just 14 per cent against. The divisive debate on <b>asylum</b> seekers came as moderate Liberal MP Russell Broadbent spoke out against people on his side of politics, such as George Christensen, “cuddling up to Hansonite rhetoric” by drumming up anti-Muslim sentiment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We cannot condemn the whole of the Muslim community for the actions of a crazy, dangerous few,” Mr Broadbent said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That’s not fair. Otherwise the people who hate all that is good about this nation will win and we are the losers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australia, we’re better than this. We need not walk in the footsteps of the world. We as a nation can stand apart. Confident. Fearless. Together. United. Unafraid,” he said.</p>

But this is never a reason to ignore the substance of an issue. Politicking should always be put to one side so we can consider actual policy implications and consequences. Presented with Malcolm Turnbull’s plan to legislate a lifetime ban from our shores for refugees processed at Manus Island and Nauru, however, Labor saw only the politics and made the wrong decision.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sadly, the opposition’s failure to grasp the proposal’s practical import means any pretence at bipartisanship on border protection is lost. This can serve only to weaken our border protection regime. The best long-term deterrent will always be an impregnable border regime endorsed by both major parties. Bill Shorten at least is right on one point: the most pressing issue in border protection is the resettlement of almost 2000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees on Manus Island and Nauru. The success of the Coalition’s border plan — which has stopped the people-smuggling racket dead in its tracks and seen 17 detention centres emptied and closed on our shores — cannot be considered complete until those people stranded in offshore detention can be resettled. They have been on those islands too long and every effort must be made to process them and see them return home or resettled in third countries as soon as possible. Already more than 600 have returned to their countries of origin. But what the Opposition Leader and Labor refuse to recognise is that the lifetime ban legislation is designed precisely to help deliver this crucial outcome.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of the reasons <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees continue to resist financial incentives to return home or settle in Cambodia or Papua New Guinea is because they are constantly told by Australian-based <b>refugee</b> activists that there is a prospect of acceptance in Australia. They are encouraged to protest and agitate offshore in concert with political lobbying and public advocacy in Australia to force the Turnbull government to “bring them here”. This false hope only stymies any attempts at resettlement. On that score alone the lifetime ban would be a useful demonstration to the <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees, helping them accept their situation and make practical choices.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet it seems there is an even more pressing imperative. We understand the government is close to finalising arrangements with other countries to resettle refugees; possibly First World countries. If such a breakthrough could occur then a ban from entering Australia would be an important precondition, otherwise the <b>boat</b> journey will have proved worthwhile, providing a desirable relocation and travel rights to Australia. This would immediately provide people-smugglers with another marketing opportunity. We saw in 2008-09 how quickly the smuggling was able to spring up again once potential customers realised there might be an opening. The Prime Minister is right to ensure no such signal is ever broadcast again.Immigration Minister Peter Dutton tellingly mocked Mr Shorten for expressing concern about the tourist visas of refugees in 40 years when the threat of people-smuggling is in the here and now, and the urgency to resettle hundreds of people from Manus Island and Nauru is manifest. Labor needs to accept that it has continually misjudged this issue. It has the Coalition under pressure on a range of other fronts, so it should put aside its partisan goal of denying the government a legislative win in this area of its policy and political strength. Rather, Labor should do what is best for the nation’s border security and is therefore best for our humanitarian and broader immigration program. The ALP has been lured off course, trying to virtue signal to its green-left flank. It would do better to back the Coalition’s instincts on borders, which are proven as well as widely understood by voters.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The hope in the senior ranks of the Turnbull government, a few months ago, was that once the same-sex marriage plebiscite was killed off by the parliament, and a home was found for the people stuck on Manus Island and Nauru, the government could go into Christmas with some clear air.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Late on Monday night, the Senate voted down the same-sex marriage plebiscite. But clear air? It's looking a bit like Delhi for the government in Canberra.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some of this is air pollution is of the Coalition's own making. Some of it is not. The Prime Minister's air purifier does not seem to be functioning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most significantly, an emboldened Labor Party has broken its nervous clinging to the Coalition's position on <b>asylum</b> seekers of recent years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor leader Bill Shorten announced on Tuesday that Labor wouldn't just seek to amend the Coalition proposal to put a lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b>, but reject it outright, saying there was no evidence that it was part of a third country deal as the government has suggested. If the government had indeed sought to wedge Labor on this issue, it doesn't seem to have worked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How the breaking of bipartisanship will play out in coming months is unclear. For starters, the government has claimed it has the crossbench votes to get the legislation through without Labor. But this is not certain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Longer term, how a growing division on the issue develops will depend on whether the government really has got a deal up its sleeve on Manus and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meantime, clouds of smoke were billowing around the Racial Discrimination Act, and the continuing agitation by conservatives to see it amended to remove provisions that make it unlawful to "offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate" on the basis of race.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This debate has been morphing rapidly in the last few weeks. There has been a softening and repositioning in the centre of politics - particularly after the case involving students at QUT.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister goofed on Monday when he attacked the <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span>, only to be sturdily rebutted by HRC head Gillian Triggs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Triggs also agreed that there might be merit in amending the offending section of the act, saying that removing "offend" and "insult" and inserting "vilify" would be a strengthening of the laws.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All this was the backdrop to a very long debate on the issue in the Coalition party room on Tuesday - at which 18 speakers contributed. At issue was the Prime Minister's proposal to hold a parliamentary inquiry into the matter.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor went on the attack over the move, arguing Turnbull was opening the door to a dangerous allowance of abuse.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For his part, the Prime Minister is trying to morph the 18C debate from being an ideological flashpoint for his party into a more civilised, "consensus-building" discussion about improving the law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He warned his party room that the Coalition would remain exposed to suggestions it was allowing race hate speech if it did not proceed carefully. This was grudgingly accepted by the party room.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The best outcome is that the inquiry will take the heat out of this troublesome issue - at least until it reports at the end of February. The worst is that it will only keep it alive in the meantime.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And at some subsequent point the government will still have to work out what to do about 18C, just as it will have to work out a position to take to the next election on same-sex marriage.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time, the ALP said it would join others in the Senate to try to further water down the backpacker tax from a proposed rate of 19 per cent to 10.5 per cent.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This prompted Mr Morrison to accuse Labor of "forcing Australians to pay more tax so they can give foreign workers a tax cut".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Morrison said a 10.5 per cent backpacker tax would cost the budget $560 million. He said the government would reject the changes if made by the Senate and the rate would default to the current 32.5 per cent to be levied on every dollar earned by a seasonal labourer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen said Labor would vote for the government's super package, which is worth a net $3 billion saving to the budget, and would then present to voters in two years more cuts worth $1.4 billion over four years and $19 billion over a decade. Labor will call for a quick Senate inquiry but will not attempt to amend the Coalition's super package, ensuring it will sail through.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor expected the government to reject the 11th-hour offer, which was designed so the opposition could take the extra cuts to the election and bank the budget savings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If the government doesn't accept the offer, they will be policies we take to the next election and will be reflected in our budget bottom line," Mr Bowen said. He added the savings would more than offset the losses on the backpacker tax.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ploy was criticised by the superannuation industry, which is fed up with what has become near-constant tinkering with super over recent years by both sides of politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It will cause further uncertainty for savers and the changes that target women, carers and the self-employed in particular are poorly conceived," said Sally Loane, chief executive of the Financial Services Council.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Australians want certainty and confidence in superannuation. More than anything they want political parties to draw a line in the sand under changes to the tax treatment of super so they can plan confidently for their financial futures."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Financial Services Minister Kelly O'Dwyer said Labor has had "more positions than the Kama Sutra" on superannuation and it regarded super as a honeypot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor proposes reducing from $100,000 to $75,000 the annual cap on non-concessional contributions that could be made by an individual, with a maximum three-year carry forward of $225,000. It also wants to abolish two proposed spending measures and lower from $250,000 to $200,000 the income threshold at which a person's super contributions are taxed at 30 per cent rather than 15 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As anticipated, Labor also resolved to vote against the government's legislation to impose a lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> after July 2013 from ever settling in Australia or visiting.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government claims it has the support of the Senate crossbench anyway but it is understood the Nick Xenophon Team has yet to make a final commitment.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When a former prime minister who was responsible for sending thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers to their potential deaths criticises you on border policy, you know that you must be doing something right.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was a laughable, narcissistic revisionism about Kevin Rudd ’s opinion piece about the government’s plans to stop <b>boat</b> people on Nauru and Manus from ever entering Australia, legislation that will be introduced into <span class="companylink">Parliament</span> this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As The Telegraph’s Samantha Maiden revealed on the weekend, the reason behind the lifetime ban is that the government is on the precipice of reaching a deal with a third country to resettle the refugees languishing on those islands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull wants to pre-empt any attempt by people smugglers to seize on this ­impending good news and restart their deadly trade by using the marketing line that their clients will still ultimately be able to live in lucrative destinations such as Sydney or Melbourne.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has ­already said there will be exemptions for children and that there will be flexibility for the immigration minister to override the new law on individual cases.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anyone with a shred of common sense can see this law’s principal aim is not to stop refugees resettled elsewhere from visiting Australia years later to take selfies at the Opera House and Uluru, but rather, provides the legal framework to prevent them gaining backdoor entry here via sham marriages and other means.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there was KRudd — from the “lofty heights of his apartment in New York”, as Immigration Minister Peter Dutton put it — lecturing Turnbull on border protection and essentially calling the policy racist.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This measure is about the politics of symbols, designed to throw red meat at the Right, including the Hansonite insurgency, and to grovel to the broad politics of xenophobia,” Rudd wrote in Fairfax newspapers last week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He even accused the current government of “sink(ing) to new lows”, an interesting choice of language given it was Rudd’s dismantling of border protections that directly led to the sinking of <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats off our shores, causing 1200 to drown and filling detention centres to the brim with children and adults.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not once in Rudd’s (coincidentally) 1200-word diatribe are these inconvenient facts mentioned. It is truly incredible how one man can be so lacking in self-awareness, yet simultaneously so self-serving.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And, Lord help us, this is the same bloke who wanted the government’s support to lead the United Nations on human rights issues. Of course, Turnbull’s lack of support on that front would have had absolutely nothing to do with the scathing criticism from the former PM now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rudd was clearly still in a foul mood on Sunday. This time the ABC’s Barrie Cassidy, a former Hawke government adviser, found himself in the firing line.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Good old @barriecassidy, dedicated Shortista, Gillardista, says my oped is hypocrisy,” he sulked on <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the more cynical reason behind the government’s plan truly was to divide the Left, as some observers suggest, it’s ­already working a treat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has called the plan “ludicrous”, “over the top” and “ridiculous”, despite saying he maintains bipartisan support for tough border protection. But, tellingly, he hasn’t actually ruled out agreeing to the proposal he apparently finds so repellent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are now 23 Labor MPs on the record calling the policy “cynical”, “cruel” and “a new low” before even properly examining it, calling into question the party’s commitment to securing our borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Amnesty International</span> ’s Anna Neistat — the same advocate caught out lying about children committing suicide on Nauru and <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats continuing to arrive since the turnbacks — called the proposed law “cruel and mean-spirited” last week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While this may be problematic for activists who want to #BringThemHere, when I visited Nauru with a camera crew for A Current Affair in June many refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers there told us they no longer wanted to come to Australia, so entrenched is their loathing of us after being stuck in limbo for three years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead, they say they would now rather go to New Zealand (already ruled out), the US or Canada.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The resettlement deal, meanwhile, is reportedly more likely to be struck with a less developed country such as ­Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines or in Central America.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It will be interesting to see what the refugees do then — accept resettlement or take the cash offer to go back to their countries of origin, as 668 from Nauru and Manus have already done, according to Dutton.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Remember, many travelled through Indonesia to get on a <b>boat</b> to come to Australia in the first place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Speaking of our visit to Nauru, I learnt last week that the Sydney Morning <span class="companylink">Herald</span> ’s federal politics reporter Michael Koziol lodged a Freedom of Information request with the Department of Immigration, asking for all correspondence with the department and documents pertaining to our visa and trip.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As I’ve said countless times now in response to the advocates’ continued conspiracy theories, the government had nothing to do with our visit. Needless to say, the FOI request returned a blank.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s time to stop muckraking and turn the focus back to stopping people-trafficking, while boosting the numbers of refugees Australia can accept through official humanitarian channels.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor stepped up its concerns late yesterday after receiving confidential brief­ings on the proposal.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian was told Labor’s doubts about the bill were “heightened rather than assuaged” during brief­ings by senior department officials and advisers in Immigra­tion Minister Peter Dutton’s office.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government gave Labor a copy of the draft bill on Friday and the explanatory memorandum yesterday, asking for unqualified support so the bill could pass unchanged as soon as possible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Opposition Leader has backed the key aim of preventing such <b>asylum</b>-seekers settling in Australia but warned against a law so broad that those ending up elsewhere would be banned from visiting Australia, even as tourists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor avoided direct comment on the bill yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton acknowledged Papua New Guinea wished to close the Manus Island detention centre but would not comment on options for third-country settlement, amid speculation over deals with the US, Canada or Cambodia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government says there are 958 <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees on Manus and 1140 on Nauru. Ending the “false hope” of settlement in Australia is seen as a way to force <b>asylum</b>-seekers to go home or settle in a third country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’ve got a couple of hundred people ... who have been found not to be refugees, that are on Nauru or Manus, who we do want to help return back to their country of origin, provide them with financial support to re-establish their lives,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He stepped up demands on Labor to vote for the bill in the national interest, saying it is based on Kevin Rudd’s declaration. “This puts into legislation those words that Kevin Rudd uttered back in 2013, that people wouldn’t settle in Australia,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’ve said that, we’ve been consistent and that’s why we’re putting it into legislation. Frankly, Mr Shorten needs to answer the call to provide leadership, to stare down the Left of his Labor Party because this is the cancer that destroyed Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, allowed people to drown at sea and allowed the people smugglers to get back into business and to take control of our borders.” Mr Shorten has warned that the bill could prevent a future American or Canadian citizen ­visiting Australia in 40 years’ time even on a tourist visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian has seen a draft copy of the bill, which allows the government wide scope to allow former <b>asylum</b>-seekers into the country in future. It exempts those aged under 18 at July 19, 2013.“If the minister thinks that it is in the public interest to do so, the minister may, by written notice given to an unauthorised maritime arrival, determine that (the new law) does not apply to an application by the unauthorised maritime arrival for a visa,” it says.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> Say you're working on a major project. It will take all year to complete; it requires enormous amounts of overtime and energy; your output will be independently assessed; and the results will be made public.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now let's say that just when you're working harder than you ever have towards your killer deadlines, people keep coming up to you, saying: "Don't feel bad if you fail, many do and they're fine, it's not important anyway." Motivating? Not really.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Right now, VCE students are enduring the same kind of condescending consolation in advance from scores of well-meaning adults. We keep blithely announcing that VCE is just a number, that high school subjects are all irrelevant anyway and that life will be wonderful regardless of how much anyone studies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's time we stopped telling students undertaking the first serious major project of their working lives that none of it matters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It matters very much to them. It's the culmination of 13 years of study. They've been asked to make mastering the demands of VCE their primary focus for two years. They're urged to use the results they achieve to determine the first choices they will make as independent adults about their lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They know it does bloody matter.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is merit in challenging the way the system forces students through such a crucible to assess their academic worth. There are questions to be asked about VCE's focus on drills and memorisation over creativity and problem solving.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And yes, we know that the subject rankings any student receives can be influenced by many factors, such as the talent and skill of other students who take the same course or the relative difficulty of the exam. Add other variables - resources at home, quality of teaching, physical and mental health, learning difficulties - and we know that it's unwise for a VCE student to fixate on achieving a specific ATAR score.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But instead of patronising near-adults with potted success stories of those who made it big despite their low scores, we should respect the challenge they've been given.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Year 12 demands that students be organised, focused and ready to work long hours. To complete a suite of assessments and exams across at least five disciplines, they need to juggle competing demands. On exam days, they are asked to be agile thinkers, spot trick questions, block out distractions and deliver on deadline.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These are skills that will help them in any, and every, job they ever have to do. Employers may never ask candidates what their ATAR was, but they'll be keenly interested in what referees will say about their work habits, their enthusiasm and their problem-solving skills.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is why it's OK to celebrate those students who achieve high marks. The top rankings are extremely hard to achieve and worthy of congratulation. Whether those students go on to save lives, make millions or run the world is not the point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's also why we look for the students who complete VCE despite serious obstacles, such as Tala Afshak, the <b>refugee</b> student who is sitting her exams while raising her brother (The Sunday Age, 23/10) - her mother died in the <b>boat</b> en route to Australia. Or Mai Duong, whose parents sent her over from Vietnam hoping she'd do well enough to win a university scholarship (The Age, 15/12/2015).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The "score doesn't matter" premise could apply possibly to children from middle-class families, who have the resources and networks to find other paths to security and success if their rank fell short of their aim. Yet those attending the best private schools often feel under the most pressure to do well.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For students from poorer communities, those whose families have not been to university, their ATAR can be literally life transforming, opening up choices they may never have imagined. These students will not take university for granted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And even those of us from middle-class, well-educated families know that the choices made after high school can inform the rest of your life. You can drop out of courses, change your mind or go back later and learn new skills, but this period of life is transformative.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's true that no student should be defined by the number they get in the tertiary rankings, but they will always remember it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rather than dismiss the work, we should honour it.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One Nation senator Rod Culleton has given the government breathing space on key legislation by changing his mind and announcing he will continue to vote in the Senate, pending the outcome of a High Court hearing into the validity of his election.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time, Victorian senator Derryn Hinch, who has been lobbied heavily by the government to support its two key industrial relations bills, has started to push back. His office has told the government to stop lobbying and has suggested it delay putting the bills to a Senate vote until next year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The bills, to re-establish the Australian Building and Construction Commission, and to establish a registered Organisations Commission, are the two the government is most eager to pass during the final two sitting weeks of the year, beginning November 21.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokesman said Senator Hinch wanted to spend some time focused on his own agenda, which centred on child protection, and was a long way from making up his mind on the ABCC and registered organisations bills.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"His mind is not made up and it would be a wise move not to put it up right now," his spokesman said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Senator Culleton's about-face again changes the equation. Before he changed his mind, the government needed eight of nine Senate crossbenchers to pass bills. With Jacqui Lambie opposed to the IR bills and Senator Culleton saying he would abstain from voting, the government needed the remaining eight crossbenchers - the other three One Nation senators, the three members of the Nick Xenophon Team, David Leyonhjelm and Senator Hinch.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now that Senator Culleton has made himself available to vote, the government needs eight out of 10 crossbenchers. If Senator Hinch, for example, refuses to support the legislation, the government has the option of working on Senator Culleton.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The developments have only added to the pandemonium that swept the Senate last week when the government announced the elections of Senator Culleton and now former Family First senator Bob Day would be referred to the High Court. Both men are accused of having been in breach of the constitution at the time of the July 2 election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was more drama on Monday when One Nation leader Pauline Hanson backed the referral of Senator Culleton, saying her personal integrity and that of her party were at stake.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government is confident of one win on a major policy this week - the imposition of a lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> after July 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the Labor shadow cabinet was determining its position on Monday night, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the government already had the support of the crossbench.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor was poised to agree only to support a ban on those <b>asylum</b> seekers ever settling in Australia but was not prepared to support stopping them coming as tourists or on other visitor visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton has assured the powers of ministerial discretion will remain, meaning he and his successors would be able to grant visas as they saw fit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Key points</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull stepped up demands last night that Mr Shorten vote for the change, which aims to legislate a Labor pledge that those who came by <b>boat</b> would “never be settled” in Australia. The law would apply to those who arrived after Kevin Rudd made the vow as prime minister on July 19, 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Bill Shorten must stop equivocating and start supporting this important legislation,” the Prime Minister told The Australian. “There is no room for weakness in the battle of wills against people-smugglers. Bill Shorten and Labor must show they have learned from their past mistakes. Unfortunately once again it seems we are seeing Labor’s border insecurity.” The Opposition Leader said the government plan was “ludicrous” on face value because it would stop a former <b>refugee</b> living in another country, but who once tried to come to Australia, from ­visiting as a tourist in 40 years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet the draft law allows a broad exemption to the new power, called subsection 2AA, to rule any visa applications invalid for ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers who come by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If the minister thinks that is in the public interest to do so, the minister may, by written notice given to an unauthorised maritime arrival, determine that subsection 2AA does not apply to an application by the unauthorised maritime arrival for a visa,” the draft bill says. The draft also allows the minister to issue a regulation that revokes the “lifetime ban” on a “class of unauthorised maritime arrivals”, a measure that could delegate decisions to the department to consider future visa applications.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has also moved to prevent legal challenges to its decisions, stating the minister “does not have a duty to consider whether to exercise the power” in the event the <b>asylum</b> seeker requests a review.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The provisions make it clear there would be wide scope for the federal government to allow former <b>asylum</b>-seekers — and possibly entire classes of individuals — into the country in decades to come, contrary to Mr Shorten’s claim. Labor has had the draft bill since Friday and is expected to discuss the bill in shadow cabinet today before seeking a decision by the federal caucus tomorrow. The 12-page bill is likely to be introduced into parliament tomorrow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten attacked the bill yesterday but left room to vote for it by restating Labor’s policy, since Mr Rudd’s vow, to prevent settlement in Australia for those who come by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Labor is on a unity ticket to ­defeat the people-smugglers and we need to be strong on that,” he said on ABC’s Insiders program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We certainly agree that ­people who come here by people-smugglers shouldn’t be allowed to settle here permanently.” Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said Australia needed to send a common message from the government and opposition on border protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The people smugglers are looking for and are desperate for a divided message and Bill Shorten is offering that to them,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“All we’re putting together here in this legislation is what Bill Shorten himself has said would be the case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are legislating Labor’s own words and we are legislating our own words. Bill Shorten should support the legislation because if he doesn’t it shows that he doesn’t have the ability to hold the Left of his party.”The draft law makes it clear that the new rules would apply only to those who were at least 18 on the “first or only occasion” after July 19, 2013, when they were taken to offshore detention.</p>

I have come to the conclusion that it would be in the best interests for global security and especially Australia if both were rejected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However there were particular statements by a senior Washington expert who said that Hillary Clinton would be, "very interested in the pivot to Asia and sustaining advantage over China," further she would have a list of three questions for Australia "immediately" and none would be easy.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The questions will be: "You guys are great contributing outside Asia, where is your contributions inside Asia; where are your freedom of navigation operations from Australia; and where are your joint patrols of the South China Sea?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Further, James Brown of US Studies Centre adds two more questions: "Is Australia prepared to host long range bombers; and, is Australia prepared to host an aircraft carrier group?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Pentagon has told the <span class="companylink">US Congress</span> that, "we will be placing additional air force assets in Australia, including B51 bombers". China's Foreign Affairs Minister was extremely concerned at the implications.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, none of this is new to Australia, this was all publicly exposed upon-the visit to Australia by US President Obama and Australia's then prime minister Julia Gillard, who without any parliamentary consideration, gave servile agreement to the US demands in 2012.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The prime minister was severely berated by a list of predominant Australian principles and academics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia during this period was the centre of derivative attention with visits from presidents, senior foreign ministers, secretaries of state (twice), secretary of defence (three times), army generals and admirals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of most extensive strategies was a proposal for the enhancement of the US force posture in the Pacific-Asia Region.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The final recommendation was that the US increases forces in the region, and also moves a US carrier strike force to HMAS Stirling Base in Perth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The strike force would consist of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, an air wing of nine squadrons, one or two guided missile destroyers, one or two nuclear submarines, one or two guided missile cruisers and a supply ship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The report submitted to the <span class="companylink">US Congress</span> was not submitted to the Australian government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian government entrapment comes, I think, as a consequence of its own procrastination, its commitment to the meaningless <span class="companylink">ANZUS Treaty</span> and the Alliance, an imaginary tool of US convenience, consequentially derives a perception that Australia not only gives credence to the US global spectrum dominance ideology, is itself entrapped by it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE evidence, experience and opinion of five Newcastle experts regarding the use of the rail corridor was, I think, ignored at the council's public voice meeting. Questions raised were not answered. Is this disdainful treatment a put down for 'brand Newcastle'? If so, we must ask why.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Are we the prisoners of a still-flourishing colonial mentality inherited from Sydney's early days, a mentality that pushed prosperity as a goal, not for ordinary people but for the self-serving power elite in the colony?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Such an inheritance brings with it a fatalistic attitude, destructive to the common good.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is outrageous, for example, that the transport needs of city dwellers are being ignored for the self-serving designs of the power group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The drive for prosperity for some comes at the expense of the Newcastle- Hunter community. Trickle-down economics is as discredited as is bread and circuses as recompense for loss.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We should listen to our experts before we sacrifice an irreplaceable asset to the prosperity of the few.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shared prosperity is a worthy aim. A corridor for transport and prosperity for the community are not mutually exclusive options.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have been subservient too long to the power of Sydney reflected in our own Newcastle power structure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Too long have the centres of power in each city collaborated to make decisions so the voice of the people here has been ignored.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is time to listen to the voices of our own experts and begin a conversation with the people here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I WROTE to our MP Sharon Claydon to ask her reject the idea of any permanent ban of <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b>, or by spacecraft, or are imprisoned on Manus, Nauru or some rented island, or who are persecuted by One Nation voters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I asked her to "please tell me proudly you will demand the ALP reject the proposal outright".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead I received the same response that was published in Saturday's Herald, ironically titled "Compassion should never be conditional" (Herald, 5/11).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's doubly ironic, after Labor's unconditional declaration that <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b> without a visa from July 19, 2013, will not be pemitted to settle in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor's response is, I think, blah blah blah: "increased support for the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> &acirc;&euro;&brvbar; strong whistle-blower protections, independent oversight...".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No to Labor. No to the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes to closing the camps. Yes to bringing them here. Yes to giving them permanent visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">AS I understand it, five workers have died on construction sites in one month in this country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Questions are being raised about workplace safety nationally.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A field officer looking after apprentices on a construction site in Western Australia quits due to lack of workplace safety on site.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) and Registered Organisations legislation is passed, I think it will create an atmosphere of fear on work sites as unscrupulous construction companies throw safety regulations out the window.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Remember this: no union people on site to overlook safety means no safety at all.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">BILL Shorten has rubbished a proposal to ban <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b> from ever being allowed into Australia — even if they settle in another country and want to enter as tourists — as “ludicrous”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Opposition Leader said the laws, which will be introduced to Parliament this week, were a step too far.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While refusing to say whether Labor would oppose the bill in the Senate, his derision of the bill signalled the opposition would block it with the support of the Greens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This latest proposal from Mr Turnbull is just ludicrous on face value. It doesn’t seem to make any sense to say that someone who becomes (or is found to be) a genuine <b>refugee</b> and becomes a Canadian or American citizen couldn’t visit Australia in 40 years time as a tourist or a teacher. That’s just over the top,” Mr Shorten (pictured) said yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“On its face, the idea that you’re somehow going to deter people smugglers by saying that a genuine <b>refugee</b> who becomes a citizen of another country couldn’t visit Australia in 2056, it’s just ridiculous.” Mr Shorten said the opposition had received a copy of the proposed legislation and it would be debated in the Labor caucus tomorrow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government now faces the likelihood of having two key pieces of legislation blocked in the Senate, with the gay marriage plebiscite also due to be debated this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton continued his attack on Mr Shorten yesterday, claiming he had become hostage to Labor’s left faction.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He challenged the opposition to back the bill in the Senate but warned there would be no amendments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The government’s message to people smugglers is clear and consistent. There will be no amendments to the government’s bill. It’s time for Mr Shorten to stare down the left of his party,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cabinet Minister Josh Frydenberg yesterday said the laws were necessary to disabuse <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru and Manus Island of any notion that they may one day be able to come to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There will be a ministerial discretion, but it’s really to deal with the issue which we currently have with a number of people stuck on Nauru or Manus who won’t be resettled or won’t go back to the country from which they came,” Mr Frydenberg said.“This is where Bill Shorten needs to stand up and say he will not allow these people to resettle back in Australia.”</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tomorrow’s US election is a fascinating insight into much of what is wrong in modern politics and the media.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For me the big political questions raised by the rise of the anti-establishment candidate Donald Trump have barely been discussed by the Australian media, which has tended to brand Trump and his supporters either as comic book rednecks (Fairfax and the ABC) or heroes standing up against a corrupt system (Sky News night-time hosts and <span class="companylink">News Corp</span> tabloid columnists).</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton is similarly caricatured. For the progressive media she is a shining feminist progressive star who can do no wrong. Anyone raising questions about her emails or <span class="companylink">Clinton Foundation</span> boondoggling is a woman-hating redneck. On the right, she is derided as a criminal figure despite a quarter of a century at the top of the US political tree and the lack of evidence the email scandal in which she is embroiled involves criminality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two things that motivate voter discontent in the election that do not receive enough attention in the Australian media are inter­national immigration and the ­failures of big Western economies in the wake of the global financial crisis to make sure the benefits of economic growth trickle down to lower socioeconomic demographics. We saw both factors influence the Brexit vote midyear and the rise of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation in the federal election four months ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Paul Kelly has argued the US will struggle to recover from the divisiveness of this campaign and even if Clinton wins she will be damaged. Many predict impeachment. Greg Sheridan has likened Trump to one-term Depression era president Herbert Hoover for his populist approach to business and politics and the likelihood his proposed solutions will only damage those Americans who support him. Both commentators expect a Clinton win, but I am not so sure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her campaign is better funded and the full, formidable Democrat on-the-ground campaign machine is behind her. The Republican machine is not running the same strategic game for Trump and he has not raised the sort of money Clinton has. Yet his use of free media is unparalleled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As this column has noted several times this year, the last British general election and the Brexit vote raised the spectre of people with unfashionable views refusing to admit to pollsters that they intend to vote for the unfashionable candidate. The polling momentum has swung to Trump, who is likely to pick up supporters who have refused to self identify.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why has the world’s richest and most powerful country been left with two such poor candidates for the most powerful job on the planet?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It takes great rhetorical skill to advocate for good public policy in the crucial issues of immigration and economic globalism in the present media environment, where negative attacks reap great rewards. The natural reaction of the losers of globalisation is to call for trade barriers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is difficult to explain to angry voters that it was exactly this ­reaction that exacerbated the Great Depression. It is even more difficult to make poor voters in crime-ridden areas struggling to find work care about the successes of globalisation. In China, India, Southeast Asia, South America and parts of Africa literally billions of people have been lifted out of poverty.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Similarly it is difficult to explain to working-class Americans, or indeed regional Australians, why high immigration rates might actually be good for a country’s economy and might stimulate growth in home building and retail sales. In a world that fears international terrorism the impulse to shut the gate is understandably strong.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This newspaper has always supported high levels of immigration. But it has argued that for the national consensus in favour of immigration to be maintained governments need to maintain control. This was the great public policy failure of the Rudd and ­Gillard governments: 50,000 self-selecting <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving by <b>boat</b> and 1200 deaths at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The progressive media does not want to hear this, but across Europe and North America the rise of Islamic jihadism and the wave of <b>asylum</b>-seekers arriving by <b>boat</b> from Syria, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ­foolish decision to accept a million refugees, have threatened support for immigration worldwide. This was a deciding factor in Brexit and is dominating politics in the US, Germany and France.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an increasingly partisan media world, these very understandable fears are manipulated by the left progressive media into a source for moral scorn against the less privileged in society. In conservative media such fears are used to drive scepticism about ­immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So last week we saw the ludicrous revival of Kevin Rudd, the architect of the present detention regimes in Manus and Nauru, in the Fairfax press to criticise ­proposed Turnbull government changes that would forever prevent those <b>asylum</b>-seekers visiting Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If even media leaders are failing to explain the complexities of the modern world, it is hard not to sympathise with voters alienated by the advocacy shortcomings of so many political leaders in the face of such difficult problems. Witness the revolving door of prime ministers here since 2007.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In my view the US system has so many checks and balances, and so much momentum, it is likely both candidates would prove ­better presidents than expected. Clinton has wanted the job her whole life, has been a long-term senator, secretary of state and first lady.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump critics should reflect on the predictions made about Ron­ald Reagan before his election. Not only did he surprise his critics, the former B-grade actor proved himself one of the great US presidents. Voters around the world are rejecting leaders unable to articulate a vision for the future whose main preoccupation seems to be personal ambition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It may be impossible in the current media environment dominated by selfies and social media to find leaders who stack up morally in the way a Reagan or a Thatcher on the right did or a John F. Kennedy, Tony Blair or Paul Keating on the progressive side at least seemed to at the time.But that is what voters want, and surely moral probity should not be too much to expect in a national leader, especially the leader of the free world.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> The Turnbull government is on track for a sorely needed win in Parliament with Labor all but certain to back its revamped set of changes to superannuation that put a lifetime cap on contributions and limits on retirement accounts.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With just three weeks of Parliament left this year and other government measures shrouded in uncertainty, the super changes, which clamp down on tax concessions and are designed to deliver a net $3 billion saving to the budget over four years, look set to sail through.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This would ensure the changes would come into effect, as originally intended, by July 1, 2017.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After crunching a deal last month with the backbench, which opposed a $500,000 lifetime cap on non-concessional contributions, the government will put the super legislation to Parliament the week after next with the aim of passing it during what will be the final sitting fortnight of the year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Although Labor must approve the legislation through normal channels - shadow cabinet followed by caucus - senior opposition sources said it was unlikely there would be any significant objection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More so given Labor promised before the election to deliver the same net saving to the budget with its own superannuation policy, and because some of the changes the government made to appease the backbench were also similar to those demanded by the opposition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To win support of the backbench, the government dumped plans for a $500,000 cap backdated to 2007. Instead there will be a yearly cap of $100,000 on non-concessional contributions, down from the current $180,000-a-year cap, until the $1.6 million cap on super retirement accounts, also one of the new measures, is reached.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To recoup lost revenue, the government scrapped a proposal to remove restrictions such as minimum work requirements on people aged between 65 and 74 wishing to make voluntary contributions to their super. It also delayed by a year - from July 1, 2017 to July 1, 2018 - plans to allow people with interrupted work patterns to roll over unused concessional contributions form the previous year. Other elements of the super package include a $25,000 annual limit in concessional contributions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Monday, Parliament resumes for a week, has a week off, and then sits for the final fortnight starting on Monday, November 21.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week, the Senate will pass budget appropriation bills and vote on the legislation to establish a same-sex marriage plebiscite on February 11. The plebiscite is headed for defeat but there may be some procedural jiggery-pokery in the Senate by Labor and the Greens. In order to exploit the numbers in the Senate caused by the resignation of Bob Day and the abstention from voting of One Nation's Rod Culleton, there is talk of defeating the plebiscite and then bringing on a vote to legalise same-sex marriage. However, if this were to happen, the legislation would still need to pass the lower house and the numbers are not there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government will also attempt to put through both Houses its legislation to place a lifetime ban on entry to Australia for <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> after July 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The move is a precursor to an undisclosed plan to resettle those on Manus Island and Nauru in third countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Sunday, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten again said that while Labor would support stopping the people from settling in Australia, it was "ludicrous" to ban them ever coming here, even as a tourist many years later.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten also signalled that Labor would back a proposal by Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie to force the government to further water down its backpacker tax. Originally, the plan was to place a 32.5 per cent tax on every dollar earned by seasonal labourers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After a revolt by the backbench and sectoral interests, the government dropped the tax rate to 19 per cent. But Treasury says this will have the same deterrent effect on seasonal labour as 32 per cent. Senator Lambie is proposing 10.5 per cent, the same as New Zealand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We are open to it," Mr Shorten told the ABC's Insiders program.</p>

In capturing the foibles of the Huang family, Taiwanese parent immigrants and their three culturally acclimatised sons, in 1990s Florida, the show is a delirious whirl of comic escalation, sharp asides and reworked tropes. With Michael Chang as the inspiration, parents Louis (Randall Park) and Jessica (Constance Wu) are soon dedicated to the budding tennis career of middle son Emery (Forrest Wheeler). The melancholy realisations that flecked season one aren't as prominent now as guest star turns by the likes of Billie Jean King, but the humour is still derived from culture and character. CM</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">BBC Knowledge, 8.30pm</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's eye-opening stuff as documentary maker Simon Reeve lands in Greece and finds chaos, dysfunction and misdirected rage at almost every turn. Everyone is angry about the country's economic crisis, be they petrol-bomb-throwing rioters in Athens or a gun-toting Cretan priest who believes that modern-day Nazis are waging economic war against Greece out of spite over Cretan resistance during World War II. Reeve provides some clear, concise background to the crisis, and meets some of the Greeks on whom it has visited shocking destitution. Excursions to picturesque islands highlight other problems. On Lesbos, Reeve has only begun marvelling at the huge piles of lifejackets and inner-tubes that <b>asylum</b> seekers have left on the shore when he's interrupted by boatloads more making the short trip from Turkey in broad daylight. An illuminating episode that bodes well for the rest of the series. BN</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> movie Die Hard 2 (1990)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ONE, 8.30pm</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">John McClane (Bruce Willis) has a gift for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the right spots for action-hungry fans. Whether he is challenging a German terrorist in Los Angeles or bad-guy mercenaries at Dallas International Airport, we know McClane will happily do it again. While awaiting the arrival of his airborne wife (Bonnie Bedelia), he notices suspicious packages being passed across the floor of a crowded cafe. McClane is on the trail of a renegade military unit intent on freeing General Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) from custody. In 1990, Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2 looked wildly excessive. Today, it feels relatively restrained and a lot of stunts are real, not computer-generated. SM</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SBS2, 11.30pm</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Somalia, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan. For much of the past three decades the Sydney-born artist and filmmaker George Gittoes has embedded himself in war zones, filtering the initial impact and sustained damage at ground zero through his activist eye. Screening as part of an SBS2 series dedicated to his documentaries, 2005's Soundtrack to War uses music as the starting point for an examination of the mindset of US soldiers serving in Iraq. "When we're cruising down the road," explains one trooper, "we're listening to Tupac." Gangsta rap fuelling an M1 Abrams tank: that's the mixture of combat operations and music - be it hip-hop, heavy metal or country - Gittoes uncovered on his trips to Iraq. He finds a culture where music is used to prepare for battle, an aural adrenalin shot. CM</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A brutal civil war in the African country of Burundi saw thousands forced to flee across the border into neighbouring Tanzania. In these <b>refugee</b> camps the people used music to buoy their spirits, and that same music is now giving hope to people across Adelaide.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WHEN the members of Songambele International Gospel Band were growing up in the <b>refugee</b> camps of Tanzania they would look up at the jetliners flying high above in the cloudless African sky.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Having fled for their lives from the brutal fighting in neighbouring Burundi, these little children could never have imagined that one day one of these planes would carry them to a new life on the other side of the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now living in Adelaide, the choir sings every weekend at church and at community and private events. They sing for God, they sing to give thanks, they sing to lift spirits and they sing to remember the homeland that they were forced to leave behind.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘If you interviewed every person from the African community you would find that every single person has their own devastating story,” David Niyukuri says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Then you might ask, ‘why is it that they are such joyful people?’. The answer is that it’s music, it’s going to church every Sunday, it’s the dancing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But if the music wasn’t there it would be very different. Music is a big part of the healing in the community.” David is the man behind the music, the creator of the tunes that drive Songambele (the name means “to move forward” in Swahili).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has been joined by Songambele spokesman Herman Itangakubuntu and band members Jessica Ndayishimiye and Felix Birashoboka at Peachey Place, a Lutheran community centre in the Adelaide suburb of Davoren Park that is something of a headquarters for the Burundian community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">David, Herman and Felix all fled Burundi to Tanzania as small children. Jessica was born in a Tanzanian <b>refugee</b> camp. All use music to help heal and make sense of their experiences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ethnic violence that tore through Burundi in the early 1990s was sparked after Hutu President Melchior Ndadaye was assassinated by Tutsi soldiers. The resulting revenge attacks saw an estimated 300,000 Burundians, mostly civilians, killed. As many as 100,000 people fled across the border into Tanzania.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“For me, from where I lived in Burundi to Tanzania was about 90km,” says Felix, who walked out of Burundi as a small child with his family.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You would just sleep where you were, and the next day continue. Walk a day, sleep, the next day continue. It took three to four days.” “For us it took two weeks,” Herman says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was coming from the central east, and the closest camp was two weeks away. We would walk for half a day, set up a camp, then the next day wake up at five in the morning and start walking again.” It was a long and unsafe journey along hot and dusty roads with the constant possibility of attack from enemy soldiers. Families travelled with their old and their young, carrying whatever they could salvage from their homes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It wasn’t safe,” Felix says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When you met soldiers you didn’t know if they were going to kill you.” And there were plenty of dangers beyond men with guns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Even if a soldier didn’t kill you, a snake could,” Herman says, to the laughs of his fellow band members.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They can all laugh about their experiences now, but there’s no escaping the fact that life in the Tanzanian <b>refugee</b> camps was very hard for the young Burundians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jessica remembers hunger driving children to do anything necessary to fill their aching stomaches.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Sometimes when we were at home and our parents were out fetching wood or water it could be very hard for us to find food,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Sometimes we would just eat mud, because there was no food. The houses had mud walls and we would eat it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If you had some water you would mix the mud with water and drink it to keep going.” “We would eat our clothes as well, because they were salty,” David continues. “We would also kill little birds and cook them. We had slingshots and all the kids would bring the birds to one place and we would cook them. I don’t really remember what they tasted like.” “Like chicken!” Felix interjects.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Although once you had taken all the feathers off there wasn’t much of them.” David says that despite the hardships, he does have some fond memories of growing up in the camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was there from the age of one to eight years old, so for me there wasn’t much stress,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think my parents protected me from a lot of what was really going on. I didn’t know what was happening. The biggest problem for me was getting beaten up at school – by the teachers!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We would get caned. If one kid did something and didn’t own up to it everyone would get caned. Ten times on the palms, and 10 times on the back of our hands.” Herman has more traumatic memories. “I lost a neighbour in the camp,” he says. “We were living across from each other, and there was a road in between us.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That neighbour was killed, and then after a few months they came for us as well, but my dad paid them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If you pay them they won’t kill you. The neighbour refused to give them money, so they shot him.” All four of the band members contracted malaria several times while living in the camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There was a time in 2002-2003 when in six months I had malaria three times,” Herman recalls.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s not something you’d ever want to have.” Herman says the experiences of both the war and the subsequent years living in <b>refugee</b> camps had left deep scars on the psyches of the Burundian community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I feel like for people in Australia this is a hard thing to understand if you’ve never experienced it,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I could spend many, many hours explaining it to you, but if you’ve never experienced it you’re not going to understand it. Maybe soldiers here, people who have been to Afghanistan, they might understand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I remember I was talking to a veteran who fought in the Vietnam War. He understood what we went through.” Herman remembers his father planning to return the family to Burundi until, two weeks before they were due to go home, the fighting broke out again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Then dad thought, ‘There’s no chance of going back to Burundi, we need to go somewhere else’,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Initially we were going to Canada, and we failed that interview. Then we had an interview with Norway, and we failed the interview.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Then we had an interview with Australia and we passed. I don’t know if it was easier or that my dad knew what to say by then.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We never lost hope, we just kept trying and trying.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Herman’s first trip on a plane – indeed the first trip on a plane for all four of them – was when they boarded an airliner at Dar es Salaam airport with their families and left the continent of their birth behind for a new life in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a time of new discoveries for the young Burundians, starting with that most maligned of cuisines – airline food.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Everything was green!” Hermand laughs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We cooked our vegies in the <b>refugee</b> camps, we didn’t eat salads! The only thing I was able to eat was an apple, and it was the first apple I’d ever had.” After Herman found out he was coming to Adelaide he says he spent the weeks leading up to his journey trying to imagine what it would be like. By the time he left Tanzania he had created a paved paradise where mud and stones no longer existed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When you are there (Tanzania) Australia seems like something that is way, way, way better than anywhere else,” Herman says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You feel like you’ll never see mud, that you’ll never see any stones. Everything will be so green and it will be just like heaven.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We were dropped off in Torrensville and I was expecting paradise. I remember thinking ‘maybe we’re not there yet’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We were only the second Burundian family here, so there were no people to speak to in Kirundi language. We didn’t meet them for three months. Luckily we met some Tanzanians here and we could speak Swahili so they helped us.” Herman says that he and his friends will always be grateful to Tanzania and Australia for opening the door to them in their time of need, but said recent developments which have seen Australia cracking down harder on <b>asylum</b> seekers were concerning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s terrible,” Herman says of this week’s announcement that people arriving by <b>boat</b> would be banned from ever holding an Australian visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“These people are escaping being killed – what’s happening now is like telling them ‘stay there, be killed’.” David agrees with Herman’s sentiment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The only reason that we’re still alive is because Tanzania let us in,” he says. “We will always be thankful for Tanzania for that, and we’ll always be thankful to Australia. We are here because we were let in. Refugees are just people looking for a safe place.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the Burundian population grew – it’s now probably the biggest African community in Adelaide – the gospel music that helped them cope with life in the <b>refugee</b> camps found a new home in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From humble beginnings in 2009, Songambele has grown to 25 members ranging in age from six to 42, performing in churches and at private events around Adelaide.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They will be travelling to the United States to sing next year, and there’s a trip to Nepal and Bhutan in the pipeline.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And while all members are Burundian, Herman says he hopes other cultures will eventually join them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“At the moment we are all African, but we want to make it more diverse,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We want Aboriginal people to come and join us, people who speak Mandarin – anyone who wants to join us. And guess what? There are no membership fees!” Herman says that the members of Songambele feel like they are bringing joy and comfort to all who hear their music, but particularly those down on their luck.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We chose to write songs for encouragement,” Herman says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We realise that there are a lot of people who feel like they’ve lost their hope, and some people are so lonely. There are people who have mental health problems, people who are traumatised. These are the people who feel like they can’t take it anymore “When we sing positive songs we encourage them and tell them to keep trying. Even if today is raining then tomorrow there will be sunshine. You need someone to keep telling you to keep trying.”Songambele plays at the Amazing Grace Gospel Church, 42 President Ave, Andrews Farm, every Saturday and Sunday from 10am. You can also see Songambele International Gospel Band in action at Heights Church, Modbury North, on December 4 from 6pm.</p>

Yet on Nauru and Manus islands we now have men, women and children left sitting in indefinite limbo; desperate and without hope. The Abbott/Turnbull government has failed them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What's needed is a plan to end the horror of indefinite detention - a thoughtful plan for <b>asylum</b> seekers to be safely resettled.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We've heard this week the government wants to introduce legislation to put a lifetime ban on <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b> from ever setting foot in Australia, even as tourists or on business, regardless of where they settle and gain citizenship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Suddenly the basic human right of every person to seek <b>asylum</b> from persecution is somehow now conditional on their mode of arrival. But if the government has truly done such a great job of "stopping the boats", why exactly do we need this legislation anyway?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's outrageous that the government expects the Australian parliament to sign off on legislation that their own cabinet ministers can't explain and nobody has seen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead of always rushing to punish those who seek our protection, Malcolm Turnbull should try sitting down and working with the Australian parliament to find a sustainable, long-term solution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From Labor's perspective we want to see: a doubling of Australia's <b>refugee</b> intake, increased support for the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>, an independent children's advocate, mandatory reporting of child abuse, strong whistle-blower protections, independent oversight of all Australian funded facilities and measures to ensure <b>refugee</b> claims are processed quickly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The evidence that the indefinite detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers is cruel and inhumane is now overwhelming. The Australian people want to see their politicians work together for a just, fair and compassionate solution.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Residents say they are being bombarded with flyers from estate agents wanting to buy properties, some not content with this are now coming onto properties to door knock which I find totally inappropriate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The over-development of Shortland never seems to end, even today there is scaffolding going up one house away for what I would call another inappropriate two-storey development that will be overlooking several single storey homes and taking away peoples' privacy. I suppose all this is not going on around the people who rubber stamp them so they probably don't care.</p>

I think Lindsay Young's assertion that "Australia loves it" (Short Takes, 4/11) is wrong. Judging by some letters there are people who don't love it and condemn it for what it is - exploitation for gambling and "entertainment".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thoroughbreds may indeed be bred to run but are they supposed to be coerced to run at speeds and distances that are clearly too much for some of them? Be assured Lindsay that the race will eventually go the way of cockfighting and bare-knuckle fighting, which were also loved once.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WHY is it that when considering what to do with the rail corridor no one, but the people who were most affected by its closure, seems to be considering its value as a transport corridor? Good public transport will be essential for revitalisation. We had good transport until the railway was closed. If we must have light rail, then it must be on its own right of way. I'm waiting for someone to tell me why the option of developments that trains or light rail vehicles can run under is not being acknowledged. I have seen this in every capital city in Australia that has a suburban rail network and I see no reason why this can't be done in Newcastle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NOW that the development at Whitebridge has begun, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lake Macquarie City Council and the Joint Regional Planning Panels for listening to the 400-plus submissions opposed to this development, for assuring the community there will be no traffic problem, for building the development on the edge of an ecological corridor, for protecting the already endangered sugar gliders by permitting dogs and cats in the development, and best of all, for not allowing developers the right to determine the future of our suburb.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s a sign the PM has lost control of the narrative</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian politics never ceases to amaze. Who would have thought the culture wars would only move into full swing after Tony Abbott’s prime ministership, much less during the urbane Malcolm Turnbull’s time in the top job?</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The last successful conservative prime minister, John Howard, largely avoided the culture wars, focusing instead on reform outcomes while ensuring unnecessary skirmishes didn’t reduce his chances of keeping Labor away from the treasury benches.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Howard’s critics on the Right (yes, if we take off the rose-coloured glasses there were many) regularly admonished his inability to strike a blow in the culture wars, whether aimed at the ABC or the politically correct brigade. That’s because Howard chose not to govern down sideshow alley.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The re-emergence of the culture wars is a sure sign the current PM has lost control of the political narrative, not to mention his party’s right flank and the handle he would have hoped to have on the philosophical and cultural direction of the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To be sure, activism on the left has increased in recent years, but the broader right shouldn’t take the bait. Howard was endlessly effective at sounding reasonable (even when one didn’t necessarily agree with him) next to the over-the-top complaints coming from his frustrated opponents.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Howard might have been a conservative, but he knew the value of largely governing from the centre. He was a politician for his times, remembering the centre is located according to the times we live in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The latest instalment in Turnbull’s lurch to the right is support for a legislative change designed to prevent anyone who tries coming here by <b>boat</b> ever getting to Australia. Not on a tourist visa decades later, nor as a business person after being settled in another country and doing what refugees so often do — building a life and a career in their new home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An <b>asylum</b>-seeker who was sent into offshore processing only to subsequently find refuge in, say, New Zealand or Canada, wouldn’t be allowed to attend an education conference here, or the funeral of a loved one, under the proposed legislation. Howard was never so reactionary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government claims the immigration minister would have discretion in such cases. Simple travel, unconnected to a person’s previous life as a <b>refugee</b>, requiring direct ministerial intervention doesn’t exactly correlate with this government’s rhetoric about cutting red tape.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just imagine the embarrassment if an <b>asylum</b>-seeker goes on to become a politician in another country, only to need ministerial intervention to visit us in their line of duty. What sort of message does that send to the global community, other than that we aren’t a decent member of it? Conservatives are supposed to be alert to the laws of unintended consequences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull was never the left- wing ideologue or small “l” Liberal his detractors would like to claim. That he is under constant fire from the real left-wing ideologues in this country amplifies this fact, and moderates (to the extent that there are any left) within the Liberal Party have been disappointed with Turnbull virtually since day one of his prime ministership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fast forward more than a year since Turnbull took over the top job, and four months since the election, and the culture wars are intensifying. Nowhere more so than with respect to the Racial Discrimination Act section 18C.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 18C debate is polarising, with Turnbull’s government paralysed when it comes to finding a way through the middle. His backbench is pressing for change; former PM Abbott, who walked away from change, is now urging Turnbull to achieve what he couldn’t; and the ideological left and right are carrying on like this is the totemic issue it simply is not, prematurely suggesting amendments to the act before the chief case they rely on for their arguments has even been adjudicated on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the irony of all ironies the mooted changes now being argued for (removing “offend” and “insult” from 18C) wouldn’t have seen the high-profile Andrew Bolt case dismissed, because that conviction under the act included a guilty finding for “humiliating” and “intimidating” a group of indigenous Australians. That the judgment may well have been overturned on appeal barely rates a mention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The law which existed before Howard even became PM was never fully tested in the Bolt case. The culture wars dictated how the case (by both sides) was fought, before costs became the guiding reason the saga came to an end in front of one lower court judge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So even if many who claim 18C needs amending get what they are pushing for, they won’t achieve a legislative change which would have prevented Bolt’s conviction: the moment in time which gave rise to this whole debate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For its part the cultural left has acted increasingly appallingly. Yesterday’s dismissal of the 18C action against QUT students was not unexpected. In Bill Leak’s case, Racial Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane called for anyone offended by the cartoon to take action under the act. It was a reverse dog whistle by someone who should have known better.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leak is now being dragged through a process by complainants who will surely have their case dismissed courtesy of section 18D, which gives artistic licence to expressions such as Leak’s, superseding 18C. If that doesn’t happen then, yes, we really do have evidence that the Racial Discrimination Act requires a radical overhaul. Soutphommasane either doesn’t understand the laws he is charged with conciliating, or he’s an activist who doesn’t care.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Either way, his intervention was deeply unhelpful to anyone seeking to protect 18C provisions, which much of the sensible centre would like to do. If serious momentum for changing the act generates to a point where Turnbull starts to look at amendments, just watch the likes of Julian Leeser, Craig Laundy, Ken Wyatt and David Coleman rise to the challenge within the Liberal party room and in the public discourse.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull can ill-afford more internal divisions to go with what’s coming on same-sex marriage. Paul Kelly’s idea to amend 18C in conjunction with strengthening race hate laws is worth considering, but only without the infecting influence of culture warriors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If at the end of the Leak case — and I stress at the end of the case — the judgment defies common sense then those frothing at the mouth for change will have a point. But right now, many are seeking a remedy to a problem they identified in the Bolt case which isn’t actually a remedy to what occurred, and they are prejudging an ongoing case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is a fair point raised as to whether it is appropriate that activists (on both sides) use the courts (or the media) to prosecute cases in connection to 18C. Surely whatever the outcome of the case against Leak and considering how long it took for the QUT action to be dismissed, swifter mechanisms are needed which keep costs down and reduce the procedural impact on those involved. But that’s not at the centre of the debate between culture warriors. As far as solutions go, it’s just too sensible for activists who want to argue.Peter van Onselen is a professor at the University of Western Australia.</p>

Malcolm Turnbull has raised the option of a joint sitting of parliament as “real action” to take if the Senate rejects the Coal­ition’s building construction watch­dog and union registration laws, which are in negotiating limbo.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition has not committed to introducing the industrial bills, which were the trigger for the double-dissolution election, in the final three weeks of parliament ­because it doesn’t have enough support to pass the Senate.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government decided not to introduce the Australian Building and Construction Commission Bill next week after the future of senators Bob Day, of Family First, and Rod Culleton, of One Nation, were thrown into doubt by two pending High Court challenges.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it is rushing in measures next week to put a lifetime ban on 2000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers who were held on Nauru and Manus Island after arriving illegally by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister said yesterday the government was “abso­lutely committed” to passing the industrial laws.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I and my government are abso­lutely committed to the passage of the ABCC Bill and the Registered Organisations Bill,” Mr Turnbull said in Tasmania. “If the Senate does not pass the bill, we have the ability under section 57 of the Constitution to go to a joint sitting of both houses of parliament.’’ Bill Shorten has accused Mr Turnbull of leading a “chaotic” government that doesn’t take the proposals seriously because the Coalition is not putting them to the Senate when parliament ­resumes next week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Mr Turnbull, who said that we urgently had to have an eight-week election, some four months later can’t even be bothered presenting these proposed laws to the Senate because he’s lost control of the government,” the Opposition Leader said on Thursday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Voting in the Senate was further complicated yesterday when Greens senator Scott Ludlam announced he was taking indefinite leave from the Senate to deal with depression and anxiety. However, a “pair” will be provided to Senator Ludlam on votes so the balance of power will not change.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull rejected Mr Shorten’s criticism yesterday and said: “The restoration of the rule of law in Australia’s construction and building sector is of the highest prio­rity. I dissolved both houses of parliament using the rejection of the ABCC Bill and the Registered Organisations Bill as the trigger and we campaigned on it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I have been criticised in some areas for having a double-dissolution election. Of course, it has challenges. But that just underlines the commitment that I have … to the passage of this legislation.” He confirmed he would not bring the bill to the Senate until he was sure there was majority support. “I am not interested in gesture politics — I want these bills passed. So we will bring them into the Senate when we have the best prospect of getting them passed.’’ The poor election result, giving the government only a one-seat majority in the House of Repres­entatives, suggests the bills would not pass at a joint sitting if a major­ity opposes them in the Senate.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is alleged Bangladeshi national Rashadul Islam, 29, grabbed the girl and attempted to drag her away before the cops intervened.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He met the 15-year-old, it is understood, in a chance encounter after she left a Western Sydney group foster home last month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Saturday Telegraph has been told she was reported missing by the facility ­almost immediately, but was not seen again until police ­allegedly found her being chased along Balmoral St in Blacktown by Islam.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When questioned by police, the teenager alleged Islam had sexually assaulted her and kept her against her will for four weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Neighbour Amarjeet Singh said the girl “was barefoot running down the street in a white shirt when police caught up with her”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“She seemed scared and was asking police to help her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Across the road was a man in his late 20s talking to police and shouting at the girl.” Islam was refused bail in Blacktown Local Court yesterday on charges of aggravated sexual assault and common assault.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The girl was taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead for medical assessment but was later released.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An insider told The Saturday Telegraph that Islam was among the thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived ­illegally by <b>boat</b> under the Rudd government.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under Labor policy at the time, <b>asylum</b> seekers were permitted ­release into the community without stringent security checks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Islam has since been allowed to reside in the Blacktown community.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">West Australian M. L. Stedman’s 2012 debut novel ­became an international ­bestseller and now US director Derek ­Cianfrance’s The Light Between Oceans is touted to be a highlight of the upcoming Oscar season.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Set in 1920s Australia, the story ­revolves around lighthouse keeper Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) and his wife Isabel (Alicia Vikander) who find a <b>boat</b> washed ashore on their remote WA island with a dead man and a baby girl ­inside.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not only will the film be an Oscar ­contender, but its stars began a relationship during filming more than two years ago – and are still going strong. Just late last month, while publicising the film in ­London, Fassbender, 39, opened up about their romance on British television, ­saying: “It just happened. It’s good that it happened. It is what it is.” The pair, along with other members of the cast, were required by Cianfrance (The Place Beyond the Pines; Blue Valentine) to live on the windswept coastal sets at Marlborough in New Zealand and at Stanley in Tasmania during the shoot, to encourage an intimate atmosphere mirroring their characters’ isolation. Two-time Oscar nominee Fassbender (12 Years a Slave;Steve Jobs) says that early during filming of The Light Between Oceans he comm­ented to Cianfrance about Vikander, “This girl frightens me”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“She’s so fierce and brave as a performer,” says the German-Irish actor. “It bowled me over. It really made me feel like I had to come to work in the morning. We had a great chemistry from the ­beginning. We relied on one another and pushed one another and supported one another, and that’s really the ideal ­scenario when you’re working together.” In the gentle indie drama, Tom, suffering post-traumatic stress after serving in World War I, works in isolation as a lighthouse keeper – until he meets and marries Isabel. Unable to have a child, their lives shatter, until the rowboat washes ashore. Isabel convinces her husband they should keep the baby and raise her as their own – with grave consequences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Vikander (The Danish Girl; Ex Mach­ina) says playing Isabel was a gift from ­Cianfrance, who also wrote the screenplay. “He told me she’s a fighter, and she is,” says the 28-year-old Swedish actor. “She’s a survivor, too, and she’s a girl with her heart on her shoulder. I loved that she was so transparent, to play someone that even I felt like I couldn’t really know where she was heading each day, because she does things and say things without thinking.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s quite liberating sometimes to have that in a role because an actor can sometimes want to do things you feel comfortable (with) that you’ve done before … (it’s) a challenge to always try new things.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In this film, the Sherbournes are good people that sometimes maybe don’t make the right moral decisions or choices, but Isabel acts from the heart always. I love the challenge of making a woman who you had to get to the heart to understand her and her actions.” Fassbender says he read Stedman’s book after reading the film script and felt it was an honour to play Tom. “I was just so moved by the story,” he says. “I thought, wow, here’s such a rare, kind of old-fashioned story, a human story about ordinary people trying to navigate life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And there wasn’t a clear villain and good guy. It was just decent, ordinary ­people who make decisions that are damaging and costly. It touched me emotionally and somewhere primal it got to me. Tom, as a character, I found to be a hero. He’s somebody I would aspire to be like.” Fassbender says that, in essence, the film depicts Tom as living by his choices. “With Isabel, he’s loyal to the end … and he almost dies through that loyalty. He’s a man of his word. He is somebody who ­carries his responsibility very seriously, so when we first meet him he decides to go to an island to get away from people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He’d seen so much death and destruction in World War I and he’d been a part of it – he’d had his own portion to blame for that – so he decided he didn’t want to hurt or bring harm to anybody in his life, whatever remained of his life. So he ­decides to go into isolation. He’s a very noble character. He’s a very straight shooter and what you see is what you get.’’ Vikander says portraying Isabel’s ­harrowing miscarriages caused her to draw on her love of family and the exper­iences of those closest to her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I have five siblings and I’ve seen ­myself having a ­family one day. Trying to portray (someone who’s had a miscarriage) … as I get older, more and more of my girlfriends and male friends tell me about their (experiences). When you’re handling a subject like this, there’s so much discussion and people opening up about their experiences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“With a scene like that, yeah, Isabel got hurt and Michael (as Tom) was brilliant. We all were extremely nervous. It felt like I was leading up to this marathon, but an emotional one. We all knew that you had to do it justice, for all the people who have been in a similar place and for all of us to try and understand what it’s like.” Fassbender says the locations only added to the drama and sorrow of the story. “Cape Campbell, which is a northeastern point on the South Island in New Zealand, is very exposed and the wind just came howling through there, so it’s really invigorating and also it made me realise how lighthouse keepers go crazy, how the wind can drive people mad.” Vikander’s introduction to her first day of shooting is something she will never forget. “I was left by myself at Dunedin, but I had a pick-up at 3am. It was completely dark. I knew that the first scene I was going to shoot was Isabel on the first day when she’s arrived to the island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I arrive and they made me close my eyes as they took me down to a wood shed, next to the house, to put on makeup and costume. Then they opened the door and told me, ‘just head out and look for Derek (the director) and the cameraman’. I opened the door and I knew we were rolling, so I got to be Isabel exploring the island ... I’ve seen this shot when Isabel ‘flashes’ in the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my entire life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I had never seen that kind of nature. It was really like a gift to get the chance to experience being in that kind of place. It was extraordinary.” Reflecting on Tom’s backstory as a ­returned soldier, Fassbender discovered how many small towns across Australia and New Zealand were left with few ­surviving young men after World War I.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There weren’t many men left in (the fictitious town of) Partageuse,’’ he says of Stedman’s novel. “The town had been decimated of its male population – a ­generation – and so that was the reality for these small towns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“One thing for me that is really important in this story, that’s perhaps overshadowed by the tragedy Tom and Isabel experience, is what happens to friends.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“How we’re living in a society today where we’re dealing with exactly this problem – migrants, and how people get persecuted and how a mob can get out of hand and attack people or, for whatever reasons, through ethnicity or religious ­beliefs. That’s a frightening thing. It’s a huge part of the story in a way but something that perhaps one wouldn’t focus in on. It’s something to do with the remnants of a war, what comes back home after the war, and a very important theme.” In light of the film’s themes, the current <b>refugee</b> crisis in Europe cannot be overlooked by either Fassbender or Vikander.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’re all responsible because we’re seeing what’s occurred since the Iraq War. This is what happens when you go to war, the displacement of hundreds of thous­ands, millions of people, because we went in and started a war there.” Adds Vikander: “It’s been an eye-­opener. I’ve been travelling and coming back to London, a place I’ve called my home for the last few years. After Brexit it was a very, very sad time for me returning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In one way, I see myself as a European. I wouldn’t have been given the opportunities in my career if I hadn’t been able to move and go to the UK to study and work. If I had been someone who needed a work visa, there would have been a huge ­difference. It’s gone so far that I hope that everyone’s eyes will soon be opened.”The Light Between Oceans is in cinemas now</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is why Dutton and Malcolm Turnbull have been so determined to wedge Labor by daring Bill Shorten to embrace this idea or be cast as a soft touch, just like all of his predecessors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They want to give themselves someone to blame if some boats manage to penetrate the Operation Sovereign Borders edifice and sully the most unambiguous of the Coalition's modest list of achievements, stopping the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is why Turnbull and Dutton made such a big deal of the thought bubble Dutton floated back in mid-August, with the obligatory leaks to the <span class="companylink">News Corp</span> tabloids ahead of a prime ministerial press conference on a quiet Sunday morning, complete with the backdrop of the Aussie flag.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And it is why a government that is struggling to implement the thin agenda it took to the double dissolution election will hammer this issue when Parliament resumes on Monday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The giveaway has been the abject failure of either Turnbull or Dutton to articulate a coherent argument for a policy so utterly at odds with the values of fairness this country has championed, beyond an Abbott-like mantra about sending a message to the people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since Sunday's media conference, Dutton has claimed the smugglers will be "rubbing their hands" if any resettlement agreement for those on Manus and Nauru enables refugees to "come back to Australia through the back door on some tourist visa".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But is he really suggesting refugees would pay their life savings to a smuggler in order to spend several years separated from loved ones in harsh conditions in remote detention camps before being resettled in a third country of somebody else's choosing, all because, one day down a very long track, they would have the opportunity to visit Australia?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, Mr Dutton. The product the smugglers are selling is permanent settlement in Australia and they have been thwarted for more than 800 days by two policies that have bipartisan support: turning back boats and offshore processing, with no prospect of permanent settlement in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The missing ingredient in the policy is not more punishment for its own sake, but a genuine effort to build a regional protection framework that responds to the world's worst <b>refugee</b> crisis since World War II.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Immigration Minister has also asserted that those who come on tourist or temporary entry visas could claim protection and instigate costly legal proceedings, when this would not be possible under existing law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And he has suggested any who are resettled in New Zealand would migrate to Australia at the first opportunity, when the truth is that all but a handful of the scores of refugees who were resettled in New Zealand under John Howard's Pacific Solution are still there: proud, happy, loyal and productive Kiwis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is the insurance policy you have when the policy you are protecting is as full of holes as a leaky <b>boat</b>; when secrecy and ulterior motives are so deeply intertwined with the stated aim of preventing deaths at sea that plain speaking and transparency are impossible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It will go unchallenged by those Liberal MPs who find it repugnant because, quite rightly, they are more focused on ending the ordeal of those on Manus and Nauru than opposing a silly idea that can be remedied by legislative amendment down the track, like the one that required <b>asylum</b> seekers to pay for their detention upon their release.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If this is the price of ending the pain and anguish of around 2000 souls who have been in limbo on Nauru and Manus for more than three years, it is a price they will readily pay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whether Shorten will blink is another question altogether. The Labor leader was briefed on the ban by Turnbull before it was announced on Sunday, but given no rationale beyond the need to keep discouraging "agile" people smugglers, and certainly no heads up on third-country resettlement for those on Nauru and Manus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those arrangements appear to be all but nailed down, and could be announced within days of Tuesday's US election, assuming sanity prevails and Donald Trump is not elected. What countries are involved has been a closely guarded secret and what the arrangements will mean for those who have refused to have their claims processed on Manus Island, and those whose claims have been rejected, is unclear.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten's first instinct was to brand the ban "over the top" and signal that Labor will oppose it in the Parliament.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If Malcolm Turnbull wants to try and trade away the last sliver of his dignity, the last shred of his political integrity for a handful of One Nation preferences, good luck to him," Shorten told a gathering on Thursday night. "We're better than that."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten has given himself wriggle room to support the visa ban if the government can demonstrate that agreements with third countries to resettle those on Manus and Nauru hinge on the Australian Parliament legislating it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This would seem unlikely, given New Zealand Prime Minister John Key's declaration that "we have got no intention of having separate classes of New Zealand citizens". Why would they?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Clearly, the Labor leader believes he has the ascendancy over Turnbull, whose embrace of this idea will only further alienate many who invested so much faith and hope in his prime ministership. Shorten's response, when Turnbull and Dutton apply the blowtorch next week, will be a measure of that belief.</p>
